Can a biological father ever just give up responsibility?
I have residence orders for my twin grandsons who are 7 years old. their father has been paying through csa until recently when i was told he is going to pay half the amount as the biological mother has to pay too.
3 hours ago i received a call from DWP/csa saying the father is not going to pay anything again, they refused to say why but agreed the father is still working. what to do?
Can there ever be enough grounds for biological father, DNA proven, to just decide to abdicate responsibility?

seems fair to me! dunno if it allowed though
No they can’t just give up on a child. Unless a court orders for PR to be taken away in cases like care proceedings
And yeah seems fair aswel for the mother to be paying aswel as the father
I dont think hes giving up his responsibility as hes still willing to give you half, and yes the mother should pay the other half! Im assuming they both made these children? So half sounds fair.
That doesn’t sound right to me unless you have adopted or have certain guardianship of the children where parental rights has been abdicated from the biological parents….I have a friend who has special guardianship of her brother’s children and neither biological parent has to pay her csa as she is now technically their mother by law.
I would speak to either the social worker involved in your case or the court who issued you the order.
If the bio dad still has to pay then yes it should be half along with the bio mother.
Looks like the mother if the kids doesn’t bother either as you wouldn’t have residence orders either. To true the mother should pay half as it’s her kids too.
The question should be ” SHOULD ” not ” CAN ” ! ! …. the answer is NO NO NO NO neither Farther nor Mother should ever ever give up their Responsibility’s the THEIR Children 🙁
The fathers circumstances may have changed – he could have become a fulltime student and still work a job which would make his CSA nil assessment. Also if you have a look on the official csa website there are a list of benefits that are not included or counted as income, if he is claiming one of those then could also affect payments He could have become self employed as well.
