CSA & overtime?

janiegs

You can ask for the arrears element of the DEO to be reduced on the grounds that it will cause hardship for the children in your household. They have a duty of care to all of the children in the assessment, no matter whose household they are in.

If you are still paying off debt from the previous relationship, and you have evidence that the solicitor advised him to do this then you can ask for a departed assessment which involves more form filling, but would take this into account.

Departure won't allow any debts at all which originated from a credit card though.

0845 numbers ( one of my real bugbears ) are not exactly free. Whilst although people can call enquiries, they are then geared towards signing up with Mr Pape...but he knows his stuff.

Perhaps you can PM Fran and ask her to put it in the pinned posting along with the others? It might help also if you put Mr Pape's hourly charge.

I believe Mr Pape charges in the region of £80 per hour, but that was a while back?

NACSA charges £40 per annum.

Are you and your partner married? Would it make a difference if you were? Also seen as the CSA are so hot on your case at the moment, why not get them to chase your ex to increase his maintenance for your 2 children.

Hi Poppy9, my partner and I are not married but I don't think that would make any difference - if anyone knows any different please let me know. My partners ex has always maintained that if we were married she would be entitled to part of my wages (that was when I was working).
With regard to my ex, he is in a good job and I know he earns a good wage he pays me well (as far as I know but I can never be sure as I do not know exactly how much he earns). He is always willing to help with school uniforms and school trips if I ask (although I feel like I am begging!) He has my boys every second weekend and takes them for a week in the summer and extended weekend at christmas time and never reduces payments to me for those periods. He lives with his partner in their own house, they are both in full time work and have no other children to provide for. I don't really want to get the CSA involved in our relationship as I have seen what it does to the kids in my partners relationship with his ex. I believe children should not be exposed to the anamosity and arguments between parents, my ex and I had an amicable split and my kids have never been exposed to fights between their parents, they are happy kids and that is more important to me. Kids are too often used as weapons in a relationship for personal gain by parents and I don't want my kids to be amongst one of those statistics.
Sorry kind of got on my soap box there!! Thanks for you post Poppy9 - I appreciate your views.

Thanks for that info janiegs, I will certainly look into both points you raised.
