I don't know if I should be paying CSA

skmundad11

So, I have been paying CSA to the mother of my daughter for nearly 2 years now although I wonder if I should be paying it all. My daughter stays with me at least 4 nights a week every week, this week is going to be 5 nights and my daughter often stays with my parents 1 night a week nearly every week as well. Why am I paying the mother CSA when she only has her daughter 1-2 nights a week? I know it doesn't get spent on my daughter or bills or anything it should be spent on and I care for her equally if not more it seems crazy to me. Please can anyone provide me with any help and advice on this?

To change it, you'll need to have the CSA recalculate.

What were the arrangements when you first started paying?

Have you contacted them?

I would contact them personally don’t think you should be. 

When I split with my daughter’s Dad I had her 4 nights & Dad had her 3. Never crossed my mind to claim money off him when it was as equal split as you could get. I did however claim the child benefit for her. 

If you’re having her more she should be paying you in my opinion.
