Fled from domestic abuse now being hounded by the CSA
Help. I’m currently seeing someone who fled her abusive husband, but she didn’t take her kids as he threatened to kill them (and her) if she tried to take them. After a messy divorce and residency hearing he has been given residency of them.
Children Services haven’t helped her get to see the kids at all and now she’s being chased by the CSA. He’s a drug addict and we both doubt the kids are living with him (we think they live at his Nan’s), but he’s still demanding CSA payments.
Is there a way around this by paying into a trust fund, or similar, that would be documented so the CSA can see that money is being paid for the children’s welfare but not going to the workshy drug addict of an ex husband?

Nothing you can do about the CSA, they will just hound you and hound you and if she doesn’t pay they will just make a DEO on her salary. I assume she is working.
More important. What is she doing about seeing her children? She is now in the typical situation that most fathers find themselves in when they have left the family home and then find themselves denied all contact with their children.
Her best way forward is to take the children back. And, the longer she leaves it, the worse the situation becomes. You don’t say what part of the country you are in but It’s probably worth her while visiting her local FNF group to get advice.
The real issue here is timing, the longer matters are left as they are, the worse they become.
