Can pay CSA direct to child?

Can anyone tell me – do the CSA accept the child maintenance being paid into an account in the child’s name to stop the feckless, lazy PWC using the money to fund her social life and find a father for her next child? My husband to be is happy to pay for clothing, holidays and activities for his child but his ex wants the cash. How can it be right that she’s better off not working than we are with both of us working and living in my house with a mortgage? I get no maintenance from my children’s father and am proud to be self sufficient.

  1. Hi Trish,

    In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, only a parent, grandparent or guardian of the child can apply for child maintenance.
    In Scotland, children 12 years old or over can apply for child maintenance, if nobody else is receiving child maintenance payments for them.
