    The issue is not with the csa, you would need to pay it regardless if you are separated, but you paying her rent and bills.

    You clearly don't own the place as you refer to rent. Are both your names on the rental agreement? How much longer until the end of the tenancy? If you moved, could she claim HB and change the tenancy to her name only?
  • 1> Tenancy is in my name (only).
    2> I have the right to buy hence I have moved and I am in the process of working on that
    3> All the bills are in my name
  • She wants me to write an eviction letter saying my daughter and her out which is not the case.

    I have already been to a solicitor advised not to move, because she wants me to pay all the lump sum money and she gets the place

    also advised by family not to move

    That will probably be so that she can take it down to the council and go "look I'm homeless". It will boost her chances of getting social housing.

    If it helps get her out, why not do it?

    You say you have moved. Do you live in the same house/flat as her or not?
  • When I say I moved, I am renting this house

    1> she cant get housing benefit because she is working full time
    2> its not a problem to write a letter but she is using my daughter for everything
    3> I am looking into writing a letter

    You dont need to get housing benefit to be considered for social housing. People who work can get social housing as well.
  • Thanks for the head-ups.. I am just trying to do the right where my daughter is concern. I know the kind of person I am dealing, and its not. pretty.
