My partner has always paid his ex for thier child , through a private negotiation,but she recently in the last 2 years went to the CSA in an attempt ‘to get more money, as you earn more than you tell me you do’.
Alas she was successful which means, with the arrears, my partner, our two year our child and myself are now struggling to put food on the table. i work, so does my partner, but as the ex is entitled to a large percentage of wages and WCTC we are left asking family members to buy us food.
All the while my partners ex and child are living in a massive 4 bedroom house with her new partner, and we have just been informed that his child has just been bought a pony!!!! TELL ME SOMEONE BEFORE I LOOSE MY MIND WHAT PLANET IS THIS FAIR!!!!!!

they are evil we are in the same situation as you and instead of their so called erasing child poverty they are in fact pushing child poverty on to the 2nd families and no body seems to care. fairness just doesnt come into it.

Because the Ex partner is claiming benefit the money that is taken from you will not go to her but will go direct to the government to help keep her in benefit, they are very keen in curcumstances like yours and will hound you.
