Help help help you couldn't make this up!!

Er,

Just on a slight etiquette point - I know you're upset, but don't use large text as it makes it difficult to read, and don't post multiple times as it annoys people!

Could you read over your post and check the dates? Some of them appear to be in the future, and it makes it difficult to read your story...

Someone really helpful will be along shortly....

Good Luck!
Waddle you do eh?

    Why have you not paid sufficient NI contributions?

    I have to admit, I have not heard of bailliffs being called in for this situation?
    Gone ... or have I?

    It is for the court to decide on the ancillary relief, not your wife. It sounds as though she should in fact be paying you maintenance or a lump sum settlement in any event.

    She has actually done you a favour, because she has already produced to the court letters proving the csa were writing to you at the wrong address so you couldn't possibly have got the letters. Not only that, but you are not allowed to open other people's mail. I would want to know why she did so and why she has made copies. I would also want to know why she did not forward them to you. The court also has no jurisdiction as far as the CSA is concerned so they cannot make orders in that respect. They should deal solely with the issue of ancillary relief and you will of course be looking for her to make a settlement to you as she has assets against which you can claim.

    Your income sounds low enough for you to be entitled to legal aid so get yourself a solicitor to deal with the ancillary relief at least.

    We don't get many time travellers on here, this may in fact be a first!!!

    :eek:

    If the baliffs are on their way round to your ex-wifes house to help themselves then perhaps leaving them to it might be a good idea. This may prompt your ex to forward your mail in the future. If she has produced a pile of letters addressed to you, but sent to her house then surely she has been opening your private mail, I thought this was illegal?

    :D
