Csa

Hi,
I'm going to try and keep this simple and not get wrapped up in how my ex has had so much money and me and the children have pretty much been screwed over.

Anyway a couple of months ago my ex recieved 113 k inheritance. He currently is earning £200 a month as he lost his main job in July.
He pays £55 per week, for four children. He has three children stay two nights per week.

Is there anything else I can ask him to pay for legally? Or increase the child support? It's a private arrangement and he has lied about his income in the past and has only been paying child support for a year..

I'm in a very difficult financial situation at the moment as I'm having to move (nasty neighbours and threat of violence) im not going to be able to get HB until the house if for sale and I can't do this until the court has stamped the consent order..

Three of the four boys have autisum and I'm their full time carer.

Thanks in advance :-)

If he is earning £200 a month, how can he pay £55 a week? That's more than he earns.....


Or is he paying some out of his savings?


The CSA takes money and assets over £65k into account, excluding the main home the NRP occupies, and any assets related to their business.

I'm guessing out of the 113k inheritance.

Yes out of his saving, he was working full time until the end of July but lost his job.

I have been considering buying a property in glasgow and renting it out, ideally I would like a situation where I rent it back to the local council for a set period of time and they garenteed a rental figure.
I have no idea at all about buying in Scotland and if the option to rent to the council or housing association is possible.

Does anybody have any helpful information or places I can find information from? I won't needing a mortgage as I'm going to sell my own property and rent myself, in the south east.

Thank you

Good to hear that your very difficult financial situation will soon be looking so very bright!

Perhaps the OP means the NRP earns £200/week which would be an assesment of £35/week, so the other £20 would assume an income of £4160, that could be based on the previous income, even if they considered the inheritance (assuming the NRP doesn't put it into property) then the OP is still on a fair contribution.

3 potential DLA claims + extra tax credits and the rest for medical conditions that don't necessitate much extra costs, I'm sure OP is not in that much bother financially, maybe just frustrated that her ex got inheritance and not sharing much of it.

Disabilities are not relevant to CSA but are for benefit purposes, so look into DLA and carers allowance.

You do realise if you go through CSA he would be required to pay a lot less - until he gets another full time job

I have a feeling mummytofour is playing the system some what!

Hi,
I am a full time carer to my disabled children and have been since work became too much a few months ago. I have recently been diagnosed with a health issue which I feel may qualify me to apply for pip.
In addition I was told sometime ago by jcp to apply for esa in the non work related group. However as i get caters allowance I was unsure what the implications of applying for esa. For example how much would it be worth and how much hassle would I get to work?
It's not that I don't want to work, there are many factors and as well as being a carer I really don't think I'm well enough to work, hard to admit.

Any advice would be appreciated but please don't rip ME to shreds I really am not a lazy person, just in a difficult position x

Goes back to what I said about unlucky people a few days ago! Just like I sad once people realise how much money is to be had they all get on it!

How rude and judgmental of you. Autism is well known to be genetic.

Ever heard "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all?"

Back to the OPs question as its about the FATHER supporting his OWN children - not about whether the OP deserves child maintenance ... Jeez !!

OP - investigate a claim under the Children's Act - its a little known way of getting money from fathers ( unmarried couples ) who have assets etc to support their children. You will need to take legal advice from a family lawyer - good luck
