CSA needs to make my ex husband pay on time

June 22, 2012

My ex husband mr ian cooke is getting later and later paying each month. It’s taking the csa enforcement officers to have to ring him each month for payments, which should not have to happen seen as hes on a court order to pay by the end of each month.

Please can you check because of him been later and later each month im sure hes missed payments? He hasnt paid this month yet and this is 4 last month they say hes paying each month but in fact hes always a month bhind.

If you trace it back you will see what i meen its annoyinying because he owes so much money and is on a court order and i have to ring up each month to chase payment because i think if i dont the csa wont chase him for the payment, so i lose out yet again. It’s no good adding missed payments to the arrears cos thats all hes paying off now and he will never pay that of as it is the amount he pays each month.

Please can you see about him making reg payments on the same date each month since hes on a court order there must be somthing you can do because i think one day hes going to stop paying again and its going to take another 16 years for him to start paying again.

Some people really need this money coming in each month to survive. He gets holidays each year, we havent had a holiday for years it also may do some good if the csa was in touch with the tax office abit more.

Ex chose his money over his children

June 21, 2012

I’ve had absolutely no help from the csa over last 10 years. My con-man ex-partner has evaded payment and lied his way out of paying for 10 years despite having no mortgage, running his own business and committing benefit fraud along the way.

Seems to me the csa only interested in screwing decent people who do pay by making them pay more and more regardless of whether they can afford it or not, rather than persueing the cheats and lowlifes who do anything they can to avoid paying toward their children.

At least my children haven’t had to see this awful person for 8 years, even though he tried to force them to against their will, until a judge saw through him and ordered no contact.

Hope hes happy with his pile of money which was more important to him than his own flesh and blood.

Co-Parenting After Divorce

June 21, 2012

After a divorce involving children, even the most well-intentioned former spouses can run into trouble when it comes to co-parenting. With the welfare of the children paramount, learning to co-parent successfully after divorce is vital.

Some of the most common battlegrounds for co-parenting disputes involve time and money. Right from the start of the new arrangements, both parents should agree on some ground rules, and share documents such as a visits and care schedule and a spreadsheet for tracking expenses. If a “business-like” approach to raising their children together is adopted after divorce, emotions can be kept out of the arrangements and saved for where they are really needed – letting the children know they are loved and wanted.

Communication is vital – do not led decisions be made on the basis of assuming you know what your ex is thinking, or use children as a conduit for communication with your ex-spouse to avoid doing so face to face, as that’s a ton of unfair pressure to place on a child’s shoulders. Ultimately, whatever the nature of the divorce, all such arrangements should abide by one golden rule – doing what’s best for the children.

CSA didn’t comply with a court order then fined me

June 21, 2012

In 1993 the Child Support Agency made an interin assessment. They contacted me to advise that they need info frm me. I advise them that I was subject to a court order.

Child Support( maintenance,arrangements & jurisdictions) regulations 1992 regulation 6.

Sates that where a court order exists notification MUST be sent by the CSA to the court that made the order.

The CSA quite openly admit that they failed to do this. The purpose of the notification is so that the court order can be cancelled, leaving the CSA free to pursue their claim. In attemt to correct the mistake they sent the notification 17 years after the fact.

So the CSA created a situation where the court order required 192 a month, my mortgage payment was 450 a month and they CSA expected Read more

20 years of lies and cheating thanks to the CSA

June 21, 2012

We have had problems with the CSA for 20 years. My husband’s ex wife lied, cheated but no one listened to my husband. The children are now aged 33 and 29 respectively.

The CSA made some ridiculous assessment based on no evidence, they have never asked for bank statements proof of earnings etc. They wanted my husband to pay until they were 19 but both of them left school at 16 to work. We have always paid a monthly sum to what we can afford but they say it is not enough. We have told them on numerous occasions but they don’t listen.

They started proceedings against us to force the sale of our house and a court case was set for May this year. There were lots of mistakes on the court papers, they spelt my husbands name wrong and they said we had no dependents living at the house but we have a child in full time education. However my husband had a massive heart attack and died on 10th April. He had no preexisting conditions nor was he ill. The stress of all this no doubt contributed to this. Believe it or not they tried to adjourn the court hearing for 3 months but the judge threw it out.

We still have a charging order on the house, which has automatically transferred to me but I need to know how to get the charging order off. I have contacted my MP to help.

Can I invoice for the CSA for money they owe?

June 20, 2012

Can I invoice the CSA for monies that should have been paid by my wife’s ex for the benefit of their two young girls? I’ve been paying £250.00 per month (plus extras) to my ex for the past 6 years. I therefore have a hole in my financial pot (in the form of overdraft and credit card debt) totalling £18k.

Ex said she is claiming CSA money out of spite

June 20, 2012

Since my wife and I split up I paid money to her in cash and paid for all of my sons clothes and daily needs at her request. She then got a new boyfriend about the same time as I got a new girlfriend. Her boyfriend is a millionaire and pays for everything for her BUT he is MY son so I continued to pay.

Last year she prevented me from seeing him for no reason, I took her to court to gain access to my son and after six months not seeing him I won easily in court with the judge describing her as ‘appalling’. However during that period I refused to pay her any money as she told me that the money I have been paying her she has been using for holidays and going out.

When the court case was finished I immedietly started paying her again until the CSA got in touch rescently stating I owe over £4.5k a month in unpaid child support for last year. She is refusing to acknowledge the money I paid her and has verbally said Read more
