My husband has a child with his ex wife - now we are married can CSA take my wage into account for the amount of maintenance he pays?
Also he works for an agency with an unguaranteed job how will CSA work out how much he needs to pay?

If the claim is on the old system then yes they can.
If it is under the new system which depends on the age of the child and claim etc then they cannot take your wages into consideration.
They will look at his earning overs a set period of time and if they class as he is living a 'lavish' lifestyle beyond his means.
Best thing to do is put everything down as he earns now etc and as soon as things change then constantly update them and then they cant hit you at a later date for underpayment

Better still, don't involve them. Make your own arrangements, along with the contact arrangements and just use the CSA figures as a guideline. Unfortunately, but true, if your husband pays money to the CSA, it is unlikely that his child will ever receive the benefit. Either the CSA will take and keep the money or his ex will spend it on clothes, fags and booze. Sorry to be so cynical, but those are the real truths based on the personal experience of both myself and many, many others.
