I thought it’s 15% of that then split between 3 kids?
I think its 20% of your earnings for 3 children they will knock off a little for the over night stays but not the days you have them over for tea/dinner. You can also request a variations form to have things like cost of travel and money for entertaining them taken into account but you need to have all receipts or bus/train tickets 🙂
Travel as the crow flies lol
They are a joke
Sarah its 15% for 1 child 20% for 2 or more. Thats if they all with same mother.
They have caused me to lose my home i now live in taking an extra £259.64 out of my wages for the past 2 months. Leaving me £400 in the red
With 3 kids, you should be paying 25% of your take home pay.. £87.50 if you take home £350 a week.
I’d like to ask why you don’t have them at weekends and overnight.
Hi mine is similar I have mine every week but they only stay every other Sat night back Sunday.
3 kids and works out by CSA £200.45 every month take home pay is about £200 my ex gets about £47 a week for all 3 mate so as you earn slightly more you could be paying more.
Hope that helps.
Tbh if I was his ex I would take a token payment of about 20 a week to put towards uniform etc if he’s having them every other weekend plus evenings for tea. I know csa only take overnight stays into account but in my opinion It’s very different providing a meal for 3 children than just an hour here or there ! I would love a regular arrangement like this with my ex 🙁
75 pounds per week.
I pay 20% of my take home pay! My 2 kids stay overnight with me every Friday and Saturday, stay a week at Easter, a week over Xmas and New Year and 2 weeks in the summer! The CSA give no discount on my payments cos my ex has told them my kids don’t stay overnight!!!!! The CSA have chosen to believe her, as apart from one of their representatives visiting there is no way of proving my case to them and they don’t care as they take my payments from source as I’m in the armed forces! My kids get free school dinners and I still buy all their clothes! My ex receives £500 a month in CSA payments! My kids are probably not even seeing £50 of that! Feel like I am funding her lifestyle while she sits at home on benefits! I’m not the only guy in the forces in this position either!

Thanks Tammi Johnson.
Totally in agreement with Simon Scott. I NEVER see my 2 in new clothes, except for footwear. She gets hand me downs from her nephews. She works regular nights and has to find somebody to look after them during the day. She gets £340/month and I also have to pay to clothe and feed them both, and when they do go back to her in the clothes I bought I seldom see those clothes again. I though that the payments were for the children NOT as Simon says to line her pockets!!
When I have the children it is me who regularly takes them on days out to various places, cos they say ‘mummy never takes us anywhere’ am I correct in saying (as mentioned by Ellie Sellars) that I can ask for this expenditure to be reimbursed?
