CSA and can courts overturn decision

izzybusy23

Hi there

I have just found out that my husband had now made the woman he left me for pregnant; she is about 8 weeks gone and due sometime in the summer. I just found this out after he has been trying to get us to have another try at the marriage after no longer wanting to live with this other woman and move back in! Needless to say that is now well and truly off the cards for good.

Now as my husband had a previous child before ours whom he has never seen, plus my daughter he is currently paying 20% of his income split between the two children. Now he is having yet another child to this woman which means come July time my daughter will only be worth a measly 8% of his income. Luckily this is now a clear cut case of adultery which he was denying last year. What I would like to know is that due to his adultery and the fact that we were married and this new child will be born out of his affair, can the court award more than the paulty 8% of his income our daughter would be awarded by the CSA?

Many thanks in advance.

No. You could try and get an agreement with him to pay more and have this written into a Consent Order which would last you a year but at that point, he could go to the CSA. The CSA has jurisdiction over child maintenance and the rules are 25% of his income for 3 or more children. It's that simple.

It is frustrating when you are not to blame for marriage or relationship breakdown but divorce is 'no blame' for a reason. You simply can't make judgements about people which force money out of them on the basis that they've been 'bad' and have judges across the country making judgements about just how 'bad' is 'bad'. What is it that makes your child more worthy than the other two? The fact is, he can create as many children as he wants. You'll never get more from him unless he faces the responsiblity head on. Sorry.

Not really no, there are plenty of nice guys out there that are single, not sure why so many women pick bad ones :eek:
25% net dived by 3 as you have calculated

Thanks for the laugh clearing out!!! Like he would ever agree to that; nope, he would rather see us on the streets than pay us 1% more.. i don't know if you remember my thread on the relationships board about him wanting us to try again, then this lovely suprise that the woman who wrecked our marriage is pregnant landed on my lap on Tuesday. Still, she is completely welcome to him now; he has totally shown his true colours. I told him she would be pregnant by Christmas and I was right.

DUTR: nice men out there ?? Still looking at 38 years old and losing all hope fast :cool:

What the hell has that got to do with my thread? My husband is an adulterer.. and the question is about him so your thread is totally pointless and useless to my thread.
