Considering suicide as a way out

In december 2011 my then wife told me she wanted a devorce no chance of working it out she had someone waiting for her. This being the second time she she had done this so i accepted that she no longer wanted me. she then told our children we were getting a devorce and that they would be living with her.at this time she was not realy getting on with our children.

I had a realy good rapour with both and we got on realy well.the boys both said they would rather live with me. at that time i told my wife that i would dispute her custody claim. without a second for thought she returned wih the statement “i will distroy you finnancialy and you will not have a say in thier lives” for the next 7 monthes she refused to comunicate with me accept through a solicitor she wanted me out of the fammily home. As we were allready 10k in debt my income was all used up paying for us all to live still in the family home.she got realy abusive towards myself and our boys resulting in her smacking them 4 times in one week. this i could not deal with especialy when my 9 year old asked me what i was going to do about it.

So at around midnite after seeking a lot of advice i sent a message to social services begging them to help. next day boys told a teacher that she had hit them and they also called social services.the day after that social worker turned up at school to talk to boys then they talked to my wife and finaly they spoke with me for 10 minutes.somehow it was now me that was the abuser. within 5 days she kidnaped the boys and booked into a hostel for abused woman. unbelivable i spent the next 120 days not knowing weather my boys were safe and well or even if they were happy to be with her.once we reached court i finaly got to find out that she was in a hostel for abused woman. i was not allowed to dispute anything as she had told everyone i was mentaly ill.

The court ordered that i could only see my boys 120 miles away with supervision and i had to pay all costs 100£ to regester with contact centre then 80£ per 2hr session once a fortnight not counting the 60£ diesel bill for driving my van down to see them and 20£ for her to deliver boys to contact centre.

On top of this i had to see a psyciatrist for an assesment of my mental health. this done with a glowing report that stated he could find no problem with my mental health i am still paying twice a month to see my boys allso still pay mortguage her life insurance boys pocket money 190£ a month loan repayment run up prior to devorce. Now she wants the house sold and 80percent of profit from sale.even though we still havent had the custody hearing yet now she has sent the c s a after me i was not woried about this as i wanted to pay towards my boys upkeep i dont earn a lot as i have recently started my own buisness. so when the forms turned up i filled them out honestely and returned them within 3 days i had a call saying that they had my forms and was there anything i needed to add to them i was sure i had told them everything so she said i will do your calculation now and ring you back.this she did and came back wih you must pay 252£ a month can we start deducting this now.

I was absolutely gutted after 20 minutes of asking how she came up with this figure she said thae for 2 children it will cost you 20 percent of your wage packet we dont take into account your cost of living even though by taking this amount they will stop me being able to visit my boys let alone eat or pay bills it broke me and i would not agree to them taking said money from my account as it would cost me a further 70£ in overdraft charges every month i tried to reason with her about this and got told the law says that is what you are to pay like it or not if you dont pay we will recover the money in other ways. this was when it hit home that i am either not going to see my boys anymore or i am going to become bankrupt with a destroyed credit rating so as not to be even able to afford to eat or rent a flat i asked what to do and she said i could apply for a small reduction if i can prove costs of seeing my boys that was the only thing i can do .

At this point i had an awfull black thought of i might as well top myself as i will never recover from this there is no true justice in this country my boys are being turned against me with every absent moment from thier life and there is nothing i can do about this iether i said this to woman from c s a she then said that she would have to report this as a serious consern at this point i told her not to bother and hung up.

I was called back 10 minutes later by another woman who wanted to know if i was serious and that she would have to report me to the police just what i need another question mark over my mental state. i have no idea how this is going to end but i am absolutely sure that my kids are the ones that are going to lose out one way or another what a shit mess i even offered 100£ a month and id stop eating they just replied you would go into arears and we would recover it another way.so now im going from respectable to a deadbeat well done britian this suckes i surender put me in a cell at least my boys would know whare i was.

  1. Please do not give them the satisfaction mate, keep fighting and keep raising awareness of whats going on,

    Their actions have led me to have similar thoughts in the darkest hours but why should this be allowed.

    I have considered chaining myself to the railings at Downing street to much much more. But keep fighting them and be proud that you as a DAD have every right to a life despite the best efforts of the CSA to deny this right.

  2. Don’t let them win although it is very hard. They are not a nice Government Department to deal with whatsoever. It’s not until you are involved with the CSA that you realise how bad it is. It’s actually shockingly bad!!

    do you agree with theIR maintenance assessment? The CSA unfortunately do not take into account any living costs. They see maintenance as being a priority debt and comes before your mortgage/rent, council tax, utility bills, debt and food.

  3. mike,

    You could apply for a variation for contact costs.

    Keep your chin up

  4. Sorry to hear about your problems,but social services are programed to
    act and think that men are always the problem,they exhibit indoctrinated
    pattern behavior,A prime example in the news today is that of Joyce Thacker
    from Rotherham’s Social Services.These type of people are everywhere
    they usually pick up their biased beliefs at uni,A lot of these type where
    hippies in the late 1970s or joined CND,Note these type of people
    use a cause to create their own personal stage or platform in other
    words you could say they hijack a cause for their own personal
    gain.These lefty hippies from the 1970s are now everywhere from
    the NHS to Social services and in the csa.lots of them went into politics and
    and are in New Labor,Look on the bright side,history has a nasty habit
    of repeating itself over and over again and these people that are
    causing all the problems are not doing themselves any favors .
    Most of the problems this country has are because of these people.
    in the 1970s these people were regarded by the mainstream as
    highly subversive people and now we know why ! So ( OP) do yourself
    a favor stay focused seek professional help with your mental health..
    via counseling

    (preferably not from a dress down Friday lefty doctor that used to be a hippie
    in the 1970s) 🙂

  5. Speaking with them on the phone is not a good idea. You can ban them from phoning you and then you should just be writing to them which slows the whole process down and makes it less charged.

    If you have around a hundred pounds spare I would get the NACSA involved

    http://www.nacsa.co.uk/

    They will act on your behalf with the CSA and then you just talk with them and they will actually tell you what the deal is rather than listen to the lies from the CSA.

    If you don’t then drop me a mail on smithy00120@yahoo.com and I’ll talk through as best I can and provide any documentation I’ve got that would be useful.

    Really you say that your not going to see your boys again and your going to be bankrupt I think your looking too short term as in you need to stabilise your own situation financially even if that means claiming benefits. Your son’s will be around for many years and they will always need their father in some capacity so play the long game I know it’s really hard but you should be looking ahead at the stability you could provide to them given their mother sounds like a nightmare.

  6. If you are paying for debt from the marriage or paying for mortgage on the house that your ex and the children are staying in then you can apply for variation on these too.
