CSA not helping Australian Agency to find British Father
January 24, 2010
My name is Robyn and I have a 5 year old daughter Kaylah, her father is David Jackson who lives in Tooting, London.
The Australian Child Support Agency is currently trying to locate David for outstanding child support for Kaylah. He currently owes $18 600 AUD and hasn’t paid any support for Kaylah who lives in Australia for 10 months.
This case was forwarded to the UK office in August 2009 for them to locate him and ask for answers. They have since said that they were unable to find him and they will no longer pursue him without current address details.
I have send emailed Mark Grimshaw only to be told that I am not a UK resident so they will not help me, although I was living there at the time she was conceived and I paid my NIN and taxes while residing there. Kaylah is a British citizen and I am to marry a British citizen next year. So that would make me a dual citizen.
David’s address was confirmed yet they still say I need to produce more details. Well isn’t their job to locate him once they have accepted the case and put him through the courts to support his only child??
David has perviously been investigated for tax evasion and fraud. He doesn’t pay National Insurance or taxes, isn’t that against the British law??? Plus David uses bank accounts in other peoples names so he can hide his true earnings. Fraud again!
I believe that David is collecting through the pensions office for his daughter Kaylah, something I have not authorized. This is illegal again.
I have run out of options and I am struggling to make ends meet. I trust that you will understand my situation and help me. A father has a legal responsibility for his children, no matter where he lives in the world.
Yours Sincerely,
Robyn

Im confuded.
Was your daughter born in the UK, does she have a UK birth certificate, is the father named on this?
Did you get the fathers agreement to move your child to Australia?
My daughter was conceived in the UK, we returned to Australia before discovering that I was pregnant. David returned to the UK a week before it was confirmed. I stayed in Australia as I had family committments here and we had chosen to live in Australia. David had legal matters to attend too – Divorcing his wife (split 10 years prior) and to fight tax evasion.
David returned to Australia in December 2004 and was present at her birth. He did sign her Australia Birth Certificate and she has his surname. He returned to the UK when Kaylah was 6 and a half weeks old. His last words to my face – I promise I will be back to collect my girls!
We were to return to the UK and live there as a family. He never kept his promise and stopped talkig to us just before Kaylah turned 1.
He has never questioned that he is the father and has paid small amounts of support to date. We haven’t received a penny since April 2009.
CSA in the UK have accepted this case and were looking for David to pay support. He has gone into hiding and the CSA have been lied too and have said that he isn’t living at the address given and I should get more information for them if they are to help.
Kaylah doesn’t have a british passport or a british certificate to date, I would need to find David and get his authority to obtain one.
I woulld prefer not to ever speak to him or having anything personally to do with him, if Kaylah wishes too then I will make every effort possible for that to happen. He has made my life hell and hasn’t given Kaylah a thought..
I wish to change Kaylah’s surname but to do that through Australian Law I need to have a court order for Full custody, at a cost of $5000 or more for myself.
That a bit hard when I cannot locate him and he wishes to have nothing to do with us. He doesn’t even send birthday card sor present sor anything for Christmas.
I hope this answers your questions.
Robyn.
