FAQ – CSA Answers
Many people have questions to ask about the CSA, and here we will be presenting some of the most common questions asked, together with answers – as well as the facility for others to offer their advice based on the benefit of their experience.
If you have any questions to ask us about the CSA, please use this form:
Yes you can make a private arrangement between yourself and your ex partner so that you do not have to use the CSA. However, you should be careful about how you go about it. Make sure that you have a signed and witnessed document detailing how much you will pay, and when. Also, make all payments either by cheque or by bank transfer so that there is a record – never pay by cash.
The CSA should be informed as well – both parties should notify them by letter sent by recorded delivery, and request that they confirm receipt of the letters.

Read More FAQ – CSA AnswersHi, for the last 12 months i have been the parent with care for my 16 year old daughter, i made a claim for maintenance trhough the CSA 12months ago and heard nothing at all. The claim was made against my x wife. My daughter has now decided that she cannot live with me and my partner and has chosen to live with her half sister (not my child), this is against my will. Her half sister has now made a claim for csa against me not their mother.
My question is: Will i have to pay csa to this person who has made the claim, noting that she is not the parent, and it is totally against my will and do not approve and why isnt the claim made against their mother? Thank you. Note: I really hate the CSA. They are so biased against the father/worker it is untrue.
