newlywed wrote:As far as I remember, according to the CSA website calculator if the absent parent's income is £0 then he has to pay £0. If he is on benefits (job seekers etc) then the payment is a statutory £5 per week (not per child but just that weekly). Under the new rules, not the old.
Maybe you could ask for the £5 a week payment that the CSA would ask for?
This is also what I was going to suggest. It is reasonable to ask him to pay what he would do under the csa. This does not of course ease you financial situation.0
