    You shud pay as normal its not the childs fault yr signed off but your own.
    It takes 2 to make a child so 2 shud pay 50/50 and to me on that wage no its not enough

    Mary it works out as £60 per week hes paying with the club his child attends. Are you real or what? Is he not supposed to have any money to live on himself!

  • Sally says:

    @ Mary.. If he is getting sick pay instead of normal pay its impossible to keep up his payments… Also, I am sure he didn’t choose to be ill!!!! You sound like a hard hearted individual …

    @ Ian, you need to let CSA know if you are on reduced salary…

    @ mary, if that’s the case then nrps should have a share with tax credits and child benefit that the pwc receive plus maintenance on top….yeah equal share works both ways

    @the another idiot Mary
    since when does the pwc pay 50% when shes the one who gets all the benefits you idiot. you hard stone faced so and so, you think its not enough that he pays out £270 a month for child on top of his bills,rent food,utility bills car/train cost to work, etc etc.None of this is taken into account when the scum csa assess a nrp, Don’t leave him with much does it Mary, oh and what about another life after the cheating ex ? hes not entitled to one in the eyes of the csa and the likes it seems of you.
    Ian..its 15% of your take home salary for 1 child, seems about right, im screwed by these dogs for a similar monthly take home of nearly £300 and my ex is on all the benefits under the sun and don’t work. seems fair tho MARY don’t you think ? what was that you said ? 50/50 pmsl. Ian I know you mean well but DONT pay anymore than you should. you pay out enough,you don’t have to pay her anymore,let her pay the £20 for your sons club,let her contribute something,sounds harsh but hey, the csa screw us for enough and most of the time it just lines the ex’s and new partners pockets

    @ Mary – “It takes 2 to make a child so 2 shud pay 50/50 and to me on that wage no its not enough”

    So I assume if he wanted the children with him 50% of the time that would be fine? And his ex will give him 50% of her child benefit/tax credits etc?

    Assuming under your 50/50 rules 50% access is acceptable therefore both parents have all the same bills to pay to put a roof over the child’s head etc so really they should call it even shouldn’t they and just split the cost of school dinners and uniforms?

    Oh I forgot, under CSA daylight robbery rules the NRP pays for their own time with the child (say 50%) then they pay the PWC for their time with the child (the other 50%). What an excellent and well thought through system!

    Well done on your logic.
