My two children are 19 and 21. The 19 year old stayed on at school. I've paid maint (over the top by the way) up until youngest was 16.5. I apid ad hoc amounts there on in. However, I released (Volunteered, didn't have to) a charge on my ex Wife's house, value =£6k, and said at the time that money is to support the kids if they stay on at school etc. All paid via a solicitor.
Ex wife now gone to CSa and says I've not paid the last 1.5 years up until youngest left school and went to uni. They've hit me with an arrears of £2K. I've refused on the basis that I paid the £6K and now more than in credit. Ex Wife says to CSA "ah but that money was not maint" CSA accept her word and now taking me to court. They are not interested despite the reams of appeal I've beenthrough.
My point is surely The £6K was mine to give, no one forced me to, I was under no obligation at all. Thus the sum of money is given under my terms.
Advice??
