CMEC seizes properties owned by absent parentsThe Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission has invoked tough new measures against parents who attempt to shirk their financial responsibilities towards their children.
New laws allowing CMEC to stop or annul the sale or transfer of any assets were brought to bear against a father based in the North West to prevent him selling a property that he had advertised on the internet.

CSA asking for me to pay, but I have the child?In 2008 me and my ex split. My daughter returned to live with her mother for about a 2/3 week period. At that point I contacted the CSA to arrange payments. Shortly before it was processed my daughter returned to live with me, and has remained with me.

Complaints
CSA threaten to arrest me if I don’t complyThis is a long story in entirety. I fell out with the establsihed order a number of years ago over corruption and my intention to whistle blow.
Since then my marriage broke down and my main supporter became “as the enemy” as she uses this corrupt system to beat up on me. I now see my daughter about once a month.
My ex pretended not to want maintenance so that she could make the case in court for the house etc being left to her in almost its entirety…yet BEFORE the case is complete I did get a call from the CSA on my mobile on Read more »
