again a people moaning over csa payments

OP is facing a large drop in maintenance. Whatever the situation with his new wife and family, this man also has two children with OP who still have to be provided with a home, food etc. It is perhaps understandable that her concerns lie with the effect that all this is going to have on her ability to provide for these children.

the man clearly has things going on at home that are behond his control, he has a disabled wife who clearly needs him, so you would rather his wife suffer so you still get you money.

id rather 2 healthy children with no money they a disabled wife any day.

this whole world is not about money its about morels.

Isn't that jumping to conclusion without knowing facts? How can you be sure that it is a case of his wife not being able to do without his full-time care (or just about), then then ceasing the opportunity to reduce his hours, stop maintenance, so that in the end, they bring in as much if no more income than when he was working more hours and paying CB.

All very well to sympathise for the wife, but what about what the children will have to give up? Does a man have more responsibility to his wife than to his children? As much as OP will have to make up the difference, someone else might have been able to look after the wife so that OP's ex could continue to support his children.

There are no right or wrong because we don't know the situation. It could be totally understandable or not at all.

if the new wife is so ill what is she doing having another baby that is due in 2 months when she's already gt three kids?

The man is a moron. He won't get Income support to start with. If he works 15 hours per week he will only cut off his nose to spite his face. Going on your figures of £395 pm he will only get a further £22.70 per week from the social plus their child tax credits. A couple on jobseekers get to keep the first £10 of earnings before it affects their benefits then the social deduct £1 for £1 after that.

he might well.. if his wife is disabled and unable to work, he only has to work 16 hours max... and if he has to care for her, he might not even have to do that - FACT.

and BTW: he may well be on more money by claiming income support than working ....

his rent will be paid IN FULL. along with council tax etc.

he has kids, not only the one(s) with OP but with new wife. 245 quid is a lot of money from somebodys wages... when they have to pay rent etc.

what he is claiming is nothing to do with you really is it...
if he needs to change careers to care for his wife then so be it...

and OP: are you claiming all you are entitled to?
bear in mind: the money you will loose is for your kids... he will only LEGALLY have to give you a fiver...

but: will he pay for things for the kids is the question - after all, the money is for the kids.


if he is already claiming HB then he is ALREADY 490 quid worse off than YOU ARE... (means tested benefits do not take child maintenance into account, so he has been giving you 245 quid which means he is 245 quid below what the law says he needs to live off... whilst you are getting that 245 ON TOP of what the law says you need to live on, with your kids etc...

Yes i get WTC and CTC and i work , thing is if i was to give up hours i would not even get help with my mortage!!! It is not my fault they live in council housing ...... i find it very unfair them getting help with rent etc and if i was to reduce hours i would be so much worse of

He may have nothing to do with the hours worked, but the weekly wage. To claim carers allowance you need to be earning under a set amount. I think it is around the £100/£110 a week mark. At £395 a month he will be just inside this.

And what if there was no NRP to pay maintenance!! If he dies you'd get nothing!

He cannot get Carers Allowance as his wife is Low Rate Care, any drop in income he is feeling financially too. As the OP gets benefits then I cannot see why they are annoyed as this is in addition to the state and tax payers paying the partial share of the father for being a lone parent. They claim benefits and their Ex Claims benefits for their current family.

Many need to work less hours to care for a loved one and if it meant OP was not getting the minimum to live on I would understand, but they are getting benefits paid for being a lone parent so any payments to date are surely seen as a overpayment.

why has this suddenly been posted/moved to this section from CSA section..........is it so we can see the link between this thread and the other thread OP posted?
