Were you married?

If he was earning £60k+ ten years ago it is suprising that you didn't get spousal maintenance as well at least in the beginning.

Yes we were married. Didn't even know spousal main. Existed

If his nett is 3000 a mth.....that = just under 700 a week, when put into CSA calcuator would give you weekly maintenance of approx 105...x 52 divide by 12 = approx 455 a mth.

Sounds like he's in for a shock when he's told exactly how much he has to pay.

I'm actually against the percentage of earnings calculation. Surely it would make more sense for there to be a flat rate. It costs £x to look after a child. Divide it by 2 and that's how much is owed.

Probably not, he probably knows exactly what maybe due, and not every contributor is worse off by going via the csa, some are quids in :cool:

They'll ask you for as much info on your ex as you can provide, name, address, date of birth, national insurance number if you have it. They'll also ask where he works, how long he's worked there for and roughly how much he's earning, if you know. They'll ask if be has your child/children overnight at all, and if he is paying you any money directly.

Re:your finances - all they'll ask for is your bank account/sort code to make any payments to you.
Do you know if be is likely to have any other open cases? If not, the case will begin on the day they contact him. This should be within about a fortnight of you phoning them to open a case.
