CSA want money for a child I do not have
July 15, 2010
I was in a relationship over ten years ago and while working away in london my partner decided to end the relationship and move out of the house. Until last year i was unaware she had a child until the CSA sent me a letter.
The child’s surname was totally different to mine then all of a sudden the CSA sent me another letter stating they were going to take money direct from my wages. The child’s surname was changed to my surname why i don’t know but i was totally unaware of the child even been born.
The CSA will not let me have a DNA test as it has been too long over a lot of years is what they said??
They are telling me i have to go to court to declare disown parentialship
Can any one help???

If you are not on the childs birth certificate the CSA have no right to refuse you a DNA test.
If they wont agree, write to your MP.
They say my name is on the birth certificate when the mother changed the childs surname to mine yet i’ve never signed any certificate.So do you think the citizens advice will help.
You are correct, you cannot be named on the birth certificate in your absence unless the parents are married, and you wern’t.
Advise the CSA that the copy birth certificate they have must be a forgery. If they dont believe you, again involve your MP.
Thank you very much you have set my mind at rest i’ll get the wheels in motion
Hi I was just woundering if the father of a baby is not on the birth cert do they save to pay csa? He is refusing to ? Many thanks Jessicapay a agreed amount so I was wondering if u can go on ?
My advice would be to demand a DNA test – it doesn’t matter how many years have passed – if you don’t take a test you could be paying for this child for 21 years and it may not be yours. Write to your MP and explain that it is unfair to take your money without a test – anything can be written on a birth certificate and DNA testing is the only way to know for sure. Insist on a test, best of luck.
