How can CSA demand so much?

October 8, 2015

My partner is paying his ex £306.00 a month for his 10 year old son.. thi is a payment suggested by the csa after his ex contacted them wanting more than the £250 a month private arrangement they had..he due to have a review in dec 2015 but hes recently been given a bonus payout to stay in the navy for another 5 years, this bonus was supertaxed at 40% but csa say they will not take that into consideration and will be reviewing his income before tax …that means she will be entitled to inexcess of £550 a month for one son !!!

    Hi Lisa my partner works offshore in the oil industry so spends a month at home and a month away. He has 2 kids aged 11 and 8 with his ex, who has never worked and therefore claims income support, full housing and council tax benefits. She also receives child benefit, child tax credit for each child aswell as free school meals and school clothing grants. My partner was paying her £440 per month child support as we would have the kids most of the month he was home. This was never a problem until the ex was made aware that the CMA would take his GROSS earnings straight from the inland revenue!! Now she has stopped all access and is claiming full child support which they have calculated at being £800 a mnth based on a salary last yr of £65k but considering 40% of that goes straight to the taxman it is merely money that is earned but never seen so to speak!!! With that in mind, I also have a daughter aged 11 who lives with us. I work part time earning £120 for 16 hrs and as a single mum I too received child tax credit, working tax credit, a 50% reduction on my rent and council tax, free school meals and clothing allowance, however when my partner moved in all these benefits were stopped due to his earnings so now I only earn £120 wages with the downfall being made up by my partner!!! So with 2 adults and a child to support we are now struggling to live while he is home on basic wages yet she has an income of nearly £1500 per month tax free with nothing to pay for sitting on her arse all day!!!! Where is the justice?????
