advice please

I would like some advice please, I have two children from a previous relationship and after a long fight the dad now pays on old system.

Sadly I have trusted again and unexpectedly found im expecting with new partner, however after he found out he went off with someone else who is less than half his age, she has a child and one on the way both not his.

I would like to know how the csa deal with these situations if the gf is getting csa from the father of her children but also being supported by the new partner, is this allowed as her new bf works.

Will they still class him as being responsible to support her two children before his own?

What calculation would be used for his csa for his own child?

Im so worried that i will not have finances to buy the things the new child needs.

hope that im making some sense

    So assuming he is living with the new partner (the age and all that doesn't matter really does it? He has moved on just like you have)
    He would have to contribute with 20% less liability.
    The new child is your new partners and your responsibility not your ex's.

    I think you are getting a bit confused, she has 2 kids to an old partner and is now pregnant to someone else (her new ex partner) who has run off to live with a younger woman who has kids of her own.
    Be Alert..........Britain needs lerts.

    Ah, I get ya both now, the answer is still similar, the recent ex's liability will be 15% (-20% of that) net assuming he is living with the new partner.

    This will fall to be assessed under the 2012 scheme rules - so slightly different percentages and working on gross income not nett.
    His new partner is entitled to maintenance from the biological father of her children and your ex partner will be assessed at a reduced rate to reflect the children in his household.
  • thanks for the help and advice.
