Lottery winnings

Morning all

Just a quick question, my daughters dad has recently won £18k on the lottery, he hasnt told me himself, nor has her told his daughter, but is currently sat on a luxury beach in Mexico with his new wife, and came back from the Singapore F1 only two weeks ago. My daughter had a big argument with him back in Feb and no longer stays at his. She was staying there 10 nights a week until then.

My question is, do I inform the CSA of his winnings, and is it even taking into account. I dont want anything more from him to be honest, but my daughter is now a teenagers, and is getting more expensive. I would like to think that he would of put something aside for her when she is older, but I honest dont think his wife will allow it - yeap he is weak.
Thanks

I have to be honest here. My partner pays CSA for his daughter and has always paid more than they assess him for. For the last 3 years he has been on benefits but has not gone down the £6 a week route. He still pays what he always did.

So I am not a bitter 2nd partner who thinks he should minimise the cost and I am behind him all the way in making sure his daughter is catered for.

Having said that- we recently had a windfall and hell would freeze over before I would tolerate his ex telling us what we should or should not do with the money.

Sorry but I don't see any reason that he should be telling you or your daughter.

I do not think the CSa take into account capital amounts like lottery funding and inheritances when they are below £75K anyway.

I assume your daughter does not stay

You can inform the csa, but unless he has other savings that take him above £65k, then it won't make any difference.
Congratulations to him on his winnings :cool:

My word this is the ultimate money grabbing post I have ever read on here. Luckily for him you are not entitled to any and he can spend it all on his new family......:rotfl::rotfl:

surely his daughter with the OP is also part of his family and deserves the same benefit of any windfall that any 'new' children might receive?

if david cameron see's this thread he will soon change it so pwc's can get a slice of nrp's good fortune!!
i wonder if michaela888203 would of told her ex of a lottery win and given him a handout??

I see no reason why, if he is already providing for the child of his first marriage, why it is any of that family's business. Even if he were still married to the mother he would not be obliged to spend any of his windfall on his daughter, why should he be expected to now?

For all we know he may have already set aside a sum for when shes older. However the op started this thread by stating that 'she hadn't been told' and 'should she report it to the CSA'.

Its absolutely no business of hers what money he has won or how he spends it.

What has it got to do with you?

Good luck to him and his new wife.

If you won the lottery would you tell him you no longer needed any maintenance?

NO! Because you don't like the fact he has moved on.
Something you should do.

Absolute utter damn cheek!
Sorry to be so blunt michaela888203, I held back from posting earlier because I saw from some of your other posts that you have had a bad time of everything so I did not want to kick a person while they are down so to speak!
However!, this does need saying:
Can we all agree that your ex is nothing more to do with you, and that the £18k winnings are therefore absolutely nothing to do with you too, no matter how envious you may be of that fact! Assuming you agree with this statement I will now explain why you have a damn cheek and have probably infuriated every NRP on here;
I can only assume your ex is currently paying child support, your post does not suggest he isn't, so I can only assume he is, ok. On that basis lets pluck a figure out the air and assume your ex takes home £1420. Assuming he is on CSA2 that means he pays child support at 15% which is therefore £213 per month.
Therefore, that means he would pay £2556 per year using these figures.
You say your daughter is now a teenager, fair enough, once again for the sake of argument lets assume she is 13. Seeing as the government thinks it is fair to move the goalposts your ex could now be liable to pay up to the age of 20 assuming your daughter goes to college, that means another seven years!!!!!!!
Seven years x £2556 equals: £17892
Don't you see, your daughter will be getting almost every penny of it anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apologise for annoying anyone, that wasnt my intention in anyway. I in fact only asked the question on the back of what someone else had said.

Yes he does pay CSA money, to which every month I put in a bank account for my daughter when she gets older, and believe me if I could of afforded it, I wouldnt of taken him to the csa in the first place, as I dont want anything from him, especially when he has always used the payments against me to my daughter.

It was just a question so that I knew what was what, I really didnt want to upset anyone, please accept my apologises.

Yes I am going through a bad time of it at the moment, but thought that this was a friendly forum, and somewhere I could get advice, not somewhere to get messages like I got, I have alot of questions regarding my current situation, but now feel that this is maybe not the place to ask. I am simply a naive person, who doesnt know the rules about benefits, what I am entitled too or not in many cases, and was looking for some straight forward advice.

Having said that I really didnt mean to cause upset.
