My son is with me 3 nights/week. I earn less than his mum. She gets child benefit and child tax credit. I pay her CSA. Familiar story I think. We have yet to conclude financial matters since our separation. Within our settlement I would like to arrange to share benefits and cease CSA payments (or neutralise them through an equivalent maintenance order from her to me). Does anyone know of any precedent for this in the UK courts? I appreciate that i would be powerless to prevent her from claiming CSA again, but would aim to make this pointless through an order which would mean that she would have to pay it back to me anyway.
Any help much appreciated.
