Needs HELP

SylviA

Hi, I am currently paying £500 per mth as per our Divorce settlement.
My children are 15 and 18 yrs, I no I must pay while my eldest is doing his A Levels but when that finishes and I only pay for one child
I thought Zi would have to pay half that £250. My ex wife has today informed me it is intact £375 as csa take more for the 2nd Child (75% instead of 50% each child) this makes no spence to me and Unless I find out otherwise I will have to pay. I now have twins under 2yrs and I am not able to continue paying this. Please, please help. I don't know where I stand
Cheers

I dont know as I dont take anything off my ex for child maintenance (he left when I was pregnant so dont want his dirty secret money - he pretends my son dont exist) best advise is calling CSA. I thought it was 15% though x

Don't know much about this but isn't a divorce settlement a different agreement to child support? Ie. most people have to pursue their partner for child support as they aren't married (and divorced) and so don't have a settlement. I would imagine (but could be very wrong) that a divorce settlement where you agree to pay a certain amount is just a legal agreement and will be governed by its terms.

Please seek proper advice but it may help to know how and why you are paying the amount you do.
