   I know this site is generally populated by NRP's venting anger at the CSA and PWC, but I hope that someone out there can offer advice...
   Briefly my ex is self employed, earning a good salary (earning 60k plus per yr part time) has 2 properties and a good lifestyle. He wants no contact with our child, refuses to pay anything, signs on and off JSA (currently CSA found out he isn't on JSA like he claimed). He owes thousands in arrears and should be paying over £100 per wk in maintenance.
   Meanwhile, I work, I am unable to afford to live in a house of my own with our child, I have to live with family. I am barely able to pay nursery fees, and feed and clothe our child. I have no assetts, do not own a vehicle or have any savings.
   I am at my wits end. I have made complaints regarding this case to my mp and csa. It seems like there is a leagal loophole for self employed NRP's who dont want to contribute to their childrens upbringing. Please advise what I should do next if anyone who is out there can help. Thank you.

   Self-employed cases are the worst possible, next time you speak to the CSA tell them that you would like to speak to someone with regards to putting in a claim for variations, as the NRP's lifestyle is inconsistent with his alleged income. They will hopefully investigate things further for you.

   OK,

   Definitely go with the "lifestyle inconsistent with income", but also try another route. You say he has 2 properties. You can apply for an assessment based on the equity he holds in the second home.
   If the equity is greater than £65k then is can be assessed
   For Example
   House Value £200k
   Mortgage £100k
   Equity = £100k
   8% of equity os classed as income = £8k per year
   = £153 per week extra assessible income
   This cannot be backdated, but is worth a try.

   The only challenge though is that it still does not force him to pay out.
