Csa payments

Toria200777

Hi, I'm just wondering how this works, if my partner is in full time education and got a job at weekends working 13/14 hours a week and I'm working 17.5 hours a week, do Csa take my wages into consideration for payments for his daughter with an ex partner

On the old CSA1 scheme they would ask for your details and would take them into account BUT there was no legal obligation for you to provide them. The only time it is of any benefit for you to provide the information is if you are on a very low wage and he is on a much higher wage. Otherwise dont as they will increase his 'disposable' income and he could end up paying more meaning you both suffer.

The only thing I will add to this is if you dont provide them on CSA1 then is that the CSA will automatically assume that you contribute 50% of the housing costs and will make their assessment on that.

No they won't, the PWC would have to apply for a departure for that to happen.

No you don't have to pay for your boyfriends child, that's for the parents to do.
