    I would certainly raise it with them - ensure that you notify them of your concerns and when you get any evidence send it in. if your dd visits, then they will take note of that! Ask them to refer the case to criminal compliance to investigate.
  • Daughter is going down to stay for the week at his Mothers so will see if he is actually living there, daughter has said she will see if his belongings are there as he is allegedly sleeping on the couch! Thanks again

    Hmmm, this is a difficult one. If they are, as suggested, doing this just to reduce their CSA payments then I can see how you would feel aggrieved, but whether there's anything you can do is another question. I would recommend you try writing to the CSA to tell them what you think is going on and ask them whether the case could be referred to criminal compliance again, but I am not sure whether they would do this without evidence and I can't really think what evidence there would be. On the other hand, if they are still claiming jointly for tax credits or anything, the CSA might be able to use this as evidence that they are in fact still a couple? I would be wondering whether they had also applied for single parent benefits fraudulently, in which case you could report them to DWP for this if you felt so inclined, but I'm not sure whether it would affect the CSA stuff.

    I can see how the NRP would feel aggregrieved being stuck on CSA1 too, tbh. I can easily see how a NRPP could be tempted to do this.

    how often does your dd go there? Get her to write a diary of who was there and stayed over when she visited - get pics from a mobile or something and pass it to the CSA.

    Oh yeah, great idea if you want to drive a wedge in their relationship. !!!!!!.

  • I agree with strapped. Who in their right mind would place their own child in the position of spy

    Please don't drag your daughter into this. If you can';t figure it out between the adults then accept life is unfair sometimes, but by dragging your daughter in as a spy not only risks ruining the relationship between her and her dad, but also could have a mjor impact on how she forms relationships in the future. Some things are more important than cash.

    Either the NRP is lying, or they are not - if they are then who is really responsibie for this wedge? In cases where the NRP has denied where they are living, the CSA often use evidence from where the children visit as evidence of a confident address. Whilst they won't interview the children, information can be very useful.

    I love the way that the fact that the NRP is lying to avoid paying is ignored and encouraged - sorry, but I believe in justice and truth. The person responsible for this is the NRP and nobody else - a child can give lots of info without being quizzed - casual chat about their weekend and who was around, it doesn't mean they have to be put under the spotlight!

    Interogation/Casual chats, and photographic evidence obtained by a child-I believe in justice and truth but to put your own child in that position is using you child as a weapon really to get what you want-and it's wrong-I'd never put my child in that position, and if the roles were reversed and the OPs ex told the child to photogragh pwc and what goes on at their house, if and when the pwc found out they would be up in arms about it and would be saying how disgusting their ex was and how low can you go etc
