According to to this story here: http://www.csahell.com/parents-living-abroad-escape-csa-50.html
parents abroad escape paying the CSA more often that parents in the UK. The money owed from parents in other countries is ridiculous, over £26 million.

Can I just say it is a relief to read this post. I have fought the csa for my daughter for 7 years now. My ex partner works for P&O cruises however he is based in england at his home address every other month. Because he gets paid from australia the csa cant touch him. All those promises and changes they were to make. I feel sorry for some dads that do pay and dont see their children but i have never stopped him seeing his daughter he just wont and refuses to pay. I love her and thats all that matters but I do believe this needs to be reviewed. If someone is able to claim back all their tax in the uk and not pay child maintenance I think that is so wrong.
I agree with you Paula, dads shouldn't be allowed to get away without paying just because they live abroad. Especially if, as you say, he has access to his child if he wants it. I, like a great many fathers in the UK, have no access to my children yet I am paying every month; more than I should be too.
I hope you get it sorted soon.
