Broken contact orders do not interest the CSA

A verbal agreement existed between my ex partner and I in that she would inform the CSA that I was in the 53 to 103 shared accomodation bracket. Unbeknown to me the actual reason was because payments above this would reduce her benefits.

As soon as the government amended the benefit scenario at the start of 2010, she not only told the CSA that I was actually in the 0 to 52 night bracket (increasing the CSA payment), she requested a review of my wage (which can apparently be made at any time by the resident parent) but she also made false alligations to the Police that I had slapped one of my siblings hence the CSA could not (or would not!) take into account any variations due firstly to having no contact while the allegations were investigated and secondly due to no contact as part of the bail conditions pending CPS evaluation.

Now, a little history. My ex initially moved my children 120 miles away from me without consultation, took £25000 out of a renovation fund (and didnt declare this to the benefits agency). She then withheld the children from me for 6 months until I took her to court for a contact order, which she has broken by not allowing me to telephone my children. She has now pulled the CSA and allegation stunts.

Obviously I am bitter that at such a difficult time of being accused of assault, the CSA choose not only to review, and subsequently increase the payments, by double but also to not take into account the past 2 years of travelling 960 miles per month to see my children….because I cannot prove it!

My salary is above average but why does it cost more to look after my children than anyone elses?
