Ex not happy with amount I am paying, calls the CSA
I got divorced 8 years ago and when the family house was sold there was £64k left over , i agreed to let my wife have £45k of it as she was to provide a home for my son.I also agreed to pay a £5k loan and a £2k credit card bill.
Originally i paid £250 a month although my son lived with me half the time. So here we are 8 years on , she’s not happy with the payments she gets so she contacts the csa.
They’re not interested in anything i have to pay or anything i’ve already paid and seem quite happy to ruin any life i’ve got.
Surely there’s something i can do!!!

As you were divorced there must have been a Court agreement and/or Order detailing the financial settlement and the on-going maintenance. As this was only 8 years ago, there must have been a clause in it regarding maintenance for your son and how this affected CSA payments. The clause would have to have said something like you will pay £250 per month in child maintenance irrespective of any CSA calculation.
You state that your son lives with you half the time. Were you given residence or shared residence of your son? And, does he live with you exactly 50% of time, or more than that or less than that. This could be critical as the person with residence is the person who would be claiming from the CSA.
And, who is receiving the Child Benefit or is it shared?
