Does this mean he has another child elsewhere?
my daughter is now 16 and i have never had a penny from her dad, csa have sent me a letter just recently advising me that he has to start paying £5 a week, omg how did i manage without it(HAHAHAHA) anyway when i rang csa to find out how he has only been made to start paying now they said it was because it was an old case and it only came to light as a new case had came in,
what i want to know is, does this mean someone else has had a baby with him and is seeking maintenance payments from him also or does it mean something completely different, any help would be appreciated. many thanks

I would say yes , however if you did not close your claim all monies should be backdated ! If a new case is opened against him it means he has another child that someone is claiming for . The way to get around the Csa is to not ask directly but ask what percentage goes to your child and how it’s worked out and then just casually say ” ah is this because of the other child ” but you will know by what percentage they use for your child . Good luck x
But if he’s on benefits/low income paying 5.00 a week wouldn’t it be split down to 2.50 if there is another child involved, because 5.00 is the maximum they can take?
Have you closed the case and re-opened it and put you on the new scheme or it coukd be that you’ve been phased onto the new system.
If there is another child though, they wouldn’t tell you as that will be breaking the data protection.
Hiya Jo , she said new case had just came in so that would mean not her case ?? I think ha ha
Your right they won’t tell her but I got around it by saying oh is that because of the new child involved I pretended to know all about it ha ha . If you can’t beat the Csa you have to join them , be cunning like them !
Csa have already broken data protection by saying a new case has been opened, but could be a number of reasons to why this has put her on the new system, a woman did this to my husband whom he had a relationship with before we met, she had a child from an affair, but my husband couldn’t be the father as he had a vasectomy 5 years before the child was born, cheeky for her to even try and claim I know…even cases like this flags up old cases on their system and tranfers it over to the new system.
Think the op only needs to ask if this effects any arrears on her case or if he’s claiming a benefit…if he is and she’s getting 5.00 then this would of been halved to 2.50 because it would be divided to the other pwc.
Yeah , need a clearer picture ! Omg cheek wench , sometimes Csa works, sometimes it doesn’t but there’s a lot needs sorting internally
