    What's wrong with that? Isn't compensation to support the victim as a result of the accident? Support means paying what he was able to pay by working, including supporting his children.

    Actually no! it's to provide for the additional care for the victim that is required to continue independance. How many of you would prefer a payout for medical negligence and live a life of special need?
  • umm, no what I want is for the children's father to support his own children, what is wrong with that???????????

    All I want is for the csa to take into account of the money he has been awarded in leu of his earnings, (which as stated before is around£400,00.)

    and yes his injuries aren't nice, but not horrific, just some memory problems, personality changes, AND I gave up my career to look after him, We as a whole family suffered in the crash, so please don't say I am just after his money.

    I want what is best for our children, in fact he put my kids though hell, during contact, not turning up, pushing the new partner in the kids faces (wanting to play happy families, the list goes on and on).

    What angers me most is his own flesh and blood are not seeing a penny of the money, while they had to live the nightmare of the crash, losing the father they loved and adored, having to tread on egg shells when he was ill, etc etc.

    Any mother would want a father to pay what he should be paying.

    Just! some memory problems? To get that sort of payout must have been horrific indeed. Perhaps if you all suffered then you should have all put in a claim. The best for the children is not to have an angry Mum.
  • Why are you attacking me!!!, and yes we all put in a claim, BUT as stated all I want is for him to support his own children, what is wrong with that.

    and I am only angry when I talk about how he provides a nice home for his new family, new holidays, new cars, days out etc etc,

    My kids get all those things, BUT most of all they are loved so much from me, and I will fight tooth and nail to get what the children deserve.

    Its for the love of my children that I am doing this.

    No just a good solicitor, and some good play acting by the ex.
    I am not saying he didnt' suffer, but not to the extent he is making out!!!.

    I'm not attacking you, it just seems callous to be after compensation money.
    The CSA have rules and if they deem the compensation money cannot be included then so it be.

    Although you say you do it for the love of the children, we all know money does not buy love.
    Did you just have these children with the ex because he was more finacially secure than the previous partner?
    If you won the euro lotto jackpot, would you feel he does not have to contribute any longer?
    There must have been a reason you split in the 1st place , life is not all about money :o
  • She has ever right to go after the money for their children, if he can support his new partner and her kids he should dam well support his own first.

    I agree the OP has a right to go after the money (if that is what motivates her so it be) .
    Who is saying that he is supporting his new family? And even if he is , why not they obviously love him :j

    I know money doesn't buy love, actually I was the one who was financially secure pre marriage/pre children.
    We spilt because he couldnt' cope with marriage/children etc, but I shouldn't have to defend myself to you.

    As I say he is the children's father and he should be made to pay, as if he was working he would.

    You are living in gaga land if you think someone gets a compensation payout for that amount of money for "memory loss and personality chnges. You gave up your career, but from your next post you were compensated for this.
    I came away with the proceeds of the house sale, (£55,000, and £60,000 from the compensation amount, which included me looking after him for 2yrs, breakdown of marriage etc.
    I do know though that he has about £550,000 in savings, (know this as just gone though divorce proceddings for money), before anyone asks the money is in a special interest account so its benefit protected.
    If the DWP can't get their hands on his compensation money then there isn't a hope in hell that the CSA can get their hands on it either.
    *SIGH*
