Not sure why you folk are discussing CSA with the ex partner, anyways, assuming csa 2, the net wages andwtc/ ctc credit will be totalled then reduced by 25% for the children living with him, then 15% of that will be awarded to the ex for the previous child.0 -
thx we are not discussing it with her she is bitter because he now has a new family and keeps texting and ringing him giving him abuse, it was an agreement that he payed her but she has now made things differcult because the baby has come along0

Just don't enter into any conversations about it with her. Let her believe what she wants.
The CSA will take into account your child, but they may also include any tax credits you receive for them too.
If she's harassing and sending abusive texts/ calls, report it to the police.
Use the online calculator on their website to see how much you will pay with the changes of circumstances.August GC 10th - 10th : £200 / £70.61
