How do I know what I’m entitled to without asking my ex?

I would like to look into going through the CSA for my son but I do not know what my ex partner is earning and there is no way he will tell me if I ask him.

Is there a way I can find out what I am entitled to without asking him what he is earning. Many thanks.

  1. Make the CSA a very very very very last resort they will cause more hardship in the end only scumbags use CSA. Sort out a suitable figure to amy weekly or money to wards clothes and holidays. Also soon you wil lbe charrged to use CSA and your Ex so private is the better and more copperative action.

  2. @ steve….Whilst I agree that csa should be last resort not all pwcs are scumbags for using them. Not all nrps are co-operative so private agreements cannot be reached if you have an ex like that or is violent or abusive and you’re allowed no contact, why should responsibility end for an nrp because of their bad behaviour? Each and every case
    is different and not so black and white, just a shame some pwcs use csa as a weapon and decent pwcs get tied in with these sort and likewise with the nrps who evade their responsibility to their children and good nrps hounded to make up the shortfall….lets hope the new system sorts it out once and for all.

  3. @ jo if you’re on talking terms with your ex then why not ask for help with things your child needs I.e clothes, shoes etc rather than just go for the money.

    if you do have to go the csa route you will be able to mediate an agreement that suits you both.

  4. Just tread wisely once you get CSA involved they will cause more trouble between you and your ex and child and if CSA decide to come after him he might pack is job up and you could end up with nothing.CSA deal in absolutes no middle ground. Think this one through properly and try the PA first to death give him options ask him how much is he willing to pay and come to a compromise even if its money or some clothes from Asda, etc. Or better still stuff it if he does not want to pay then he doesn’t care but he will lose out when child gets older also if you get CSA involved when child gets older he could say that you set this horrible organisation onto him and wanted all is money and make you look the bad person really think about it.

  5. @cheryl typical CSA scumbag does not do it for the kids does it for her own Ego makes me sick hope he packs his job in and leaves you up the creak.
