Revised CSA assessmnent

do they not take rent am mortage in to account then?

what i dont understand is how do they know what your living costs are!!

the example u gave was about right for us as a family we was offering her 20 per week well we sed 100 pounds on every pay day but she sed this is no where enough

thing is our rent is 120 a week so thats alost half the wage gone not to mention the councill tax

plus the loans ect...

but some one said that they will have to take in to account the car cost as no car means no work as its not near to home so no work means nothing to assess as there will only be bennifits

its so rong i dont recieve any maintenence of my daughters father he is on bennifis but i manage

so say we were told to pay around 35 per week is there some way to appeal all this?

thanks again u all bein great

the NEW rules from CSA are

from disposable income ( will explain that later) he must pay 15% for the first child
20% for 2 children and 25% for 3 or more children NO MATTER HOW MANY MOTHERS ARE INVOLVED


disposable income is

net wage less any pension payments

your car, mortgage/rent househhold bills and any loans are not taken into account.

the OLD rules for CSA were (btw some people are still on these)
gross wage less mortgage etc etc etc and 10% of what was left. unless you had the child for any nights in the week, then you would get a small reduction of 1/7 for each night

the new rules are not necessarily fairer, but they do go some way towards as with new rules less can be done to alter the final amount e.g get a bigger mortgage pay less child support.

can i just air my view on contact while i am here as i have been looking for a forum to post on (this will make no difference to me now)

when looking for contact at the moment the father has to go to court with a statement as does the mother and the court decides who gets little billy and when.

it would be a whole lot fairer if each parent had to give a statement that DID NOT mention which parent they were.

in that case the judge could not know who the mother was and therefore not give the mother the most contact. also the parents would ask for fairer amounts of contact as they would know the judge could not tell.

or am i not seeing some major flaw????

thanks

plus there is other loans

and what about my income were not married but why do they want to asses me an what i get for MY child i think this rule is wrong

any help apriciated

They do not take housing costs into account unless the case is an existing old case which was implemented before 2003. So your partner will have to pay 15% of his net income as maintenence unless you have children living with you, when it will be reduced by 15% (if you have 1 child), 20% (if you have 2 children) or 25% if you have 3 or more children. That is it, pure and simple. Your details are not considered at all, it is only OLD cases that took this into account which unfortunatley for the OP, is the case
