NRP not reporting new job and income

pemalu

Hi,

My ex went into a new job around end of 2011 but didn't tell CSA. When he had a new child, he reported to CSA that he had a new job and lower salary and as he had another child, the maintenance dropped considerably. He submitted payslips to CSA which shows the low amount.

I did a research and believed he would be earning a lot more. Tribunal obtained his P60 and employment contract and agreed that he is earning double than what he told CSA. As CSA's decision was dated Aug 2012, Tribunal decided that the new maintenance rate is effective then.

CSA's original decision was based on payslips. The P60 shows amount which is more in line to his employment contract. I do think he is capable of creating mock payslips, he's Finance Director for a large company.

NRP earned higher amount before he reported his new job, he gets car allowance in his previous job too. The Tribunal decided that the car allowance should be considered as income whilst before tribunal (or August 2012 as deciding date), it never was.

I wonder if I would be able to claim back those prior to August 2012? I live in Scotland if that makes a difference.

Another question is re. DOE. My ex has been non compliant and non cooperative to CSA. CSA now made a DOE on him to pay arrears and maintenance. On CSA's letter to the MP, they said that it was my wish to have DOE. I didn't ask for it but it seems to be the route to take. Other than delay in payments, is there any other implication to me if CSA impose DOE? What if he goes self employed or move country, would DOE be worse than standing order?

Thank you for your help.

Yes sort of, for you anyway, as the person paying the standing order can cancel anytime they wish.

From what you have said you will be unable to claim increased payments for dates prior to the tribunal. The effective date of assessments is based on the date the change was reported - not the date the change happened. Unless you asked the CSA to investigate earnings from an earlier date you are stuck with the liability as calculated.
