should i stop paying csa

FBaby

Do you have contact with these children? There is a moral stand to this that only you can take. Can you not afford it? Do those children not deserve some support from their father and if he can't do it himself, don't you feel some kind of duty towards them on his behalf? Maybe not, maybe you can't stand them, or maybe you have no contact with them at all, but otherwise, I fail to understand that you wouldn't want to contribute AS A COUPLE.

After all, my ex doesn't pay a penny towards our children who he sees every week-end (and I pay for their travel each week). If I lost my job, my partner would be expected to support them on his own, whether he likes it or not. One can argue that they live with him, so it is different, but it isn't really because my partner and children have very busy life and so don't spend that much more time together than they do with their dad every week-end. Still, that's how it is, and my partner wouldn't question it for a second because he would do it if not for them only, definitely for me as their mother.

Trip, trap troll alert.

ive been browsing through many areas on this forum , being new . i personally dont have any thing to do with the csa nor do i have kids but a very good friend of mine does and has the most horrendous problems with the csa. he has no problem supporting his kids at all, but the amount they take make it almost impossible for him to have any kind of life and he works very hard. anyway he has contacted an organisation

well for some reason working tax credits put £262 into my bank, i dont know why, am not asking (before xmas). im not entitled to this money but im scared.

i have spent it. before this money was in the bank my kids (18 and 19 at home) were getting absolutly nothing for christmas, me and hubby getting £164 every 2 weeks benefit so you can imagine how skint we are. but im sorry i took the money and spent it on my children. they will have a few presents to open .

p.s. i bought a peice of pork for xmas dinner weeks ago i cant throw it away, we need it. i want too cry.

this is just one problem. i think ive had enough, i dont know how much more i can take.
