The CSA keeps badgering me to go back to work, but work doesnt pay, suggestions pleas

I guess so but my niece loves her children too much to ever restrict contact with their Dad because they love him. He sees them whenever he wants, they stay at his overnight and he does have a good relationship with the kids. In a way they're like one big family, they all get along with each other and my niece is good friends with her ex's new partner, they go to sports days and school functions together my niece & her husband and her ex & his partner.
I know it does annoy my niece that her ex doesn't pay anything but if she said "no maintenance, no contact" it would be the children that suffer. Luckily she has a very supportive husband who treats the boys as his own and they're all financially taken care of. Maybe when the boys do get older and realise that Dad didn't contribute they may see him in a different light, who knows?
I won't say what my husband thinks about her ex's lack of financial support!
Wouah, that's exactly the same situation as mine, well except we are not yet at the stage of all going together to school play, but all are civilized with each other.
Like your niece, I am angry that my ex pays nothing towards the children, and angry that this seem to be under the attitude that my partner earns well, we, as a couple, have a nice lifestyle, so therefore he shouldn't have to contribute as he needs to contribute for his new family instead as their lifestyle is not as nice. I can see how he would think that, out of love and care for his new family, but it is their choice that she doesn't work, and their choice to have another baby.
Like your niece, my kids idolise their dad at the moment, and even though they understand he doesn't contribute, do fall for the sob story that 'they are poor, we are rich, so this is ok'. My partner thinks I should be more pushy and ask for maintenance, not because he has a problem with providing towards my kids, but because he thinks it is outrageous that he takes no responsibility for his children, but then I remind him that if he wasn't the irresponsable, self centred person he is, I would most likely still be with him :rotfl:That keeps him quiet!!!0 -

Dear Sirs
CSA Ref: XXXXXXXXXXX Harassment by telephone
I am writing in relation to the quantity and frequency of telephone calls that I have received from the CSA, which I deem to be personally harassing.
I have verbally requested that these stop, but I am still receiving calls.
I now require all further correspondence from your company to be made in writing only.
I am of the view that your continued harassment of me by telephone puts you in breach of Section 40 of the Administration of Justice Act 1970, and the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.
This letter is delivered by Royal mail and is deemed good service on the CSA under Section 7 of the Interpretation Act 1978. It is now your responsibility this letter is handed to the correct person within your organisation.
Yours faithfully,
[ME]
