I’m not convinced the child I pay for is mine

April 5, 2013

I have consistenly requested a test be done from my ex-partner as I have doubts that this child is mine.Reapeatly asked CSA for advice(no replies)Have reapeatly asked ex-partner to contact me (No response).She has registered the child with my name without my consent. I need proof. You say each time we call the calls are re-corderded, this is not the case when I call back no-one has a record of my previous calls. I am know going to a lawyer,CAB have provided me with written transcript how to deal with this and if it is proven this child is not mine, I will take court action to retrieve my £10k back with interest.

The Goverment need to look into men who are accused of the father before they arrest wages. I have not signed any paperwork to say I’am the father of this child.

    Paternity – New Application PWC contacts agency asking to open case – details are taken accordingly NRP is contacted – initial attempts are by phone if number available, if no answer or no number available NRP will be send MEF (Maintenance Enquiry Form) along with covering letter stating name of PWC and name of QC(s). NRp will be asked if they accept paternity of QC(s) named in the PWC’s application 1. If NRP accepts of child(ren) case is opened. 2. If NRP denies paternity on initial MEF on MEF call or MEF form NRP will be offered DNA testing for QC(s) – this can be only, all or some (exceptions to this is where QC(s) are adopted. New App team will refer case to Complex Case Worker and DNA test(s) will be referred to Cellmark – Cellmark will contact NRP and PWC to make arrangements for tests to be carried out. NRP will be required to attend a specified medical facility (may be their own GP) and must present photographic ID. Tests are taken and sent to Cellmark lab. Results are supplied to CSA. If NRP is proven to be the biological parent the case will be opened and an assessment for CM will be progressed and the NRP will be held liable for regular maintenance back to the Initial Effective Date (the date the NRP was first contacted by the CSA). If the NRP is proven not to be the biological parent of the only QC named in the application the case will be closed, the PWC cannot re-apply for this child and this NRP at any point. If the NRP is proven not to be the biological parent of 1 or some of the QCs in the application the child(ren) who are proven not to be the biological children of the NRP will be removed the case will remain open to include QC(s) who have been proven to be the biological child(ren) of the NRP, NRP will be liable for RM of any QC proven to be the biological child(ren) of the NRP. The NPR will be held liable for the cost of DNA test(s) that prove the NRP to be the biological parent of child(ren), the CSA will pay the cost of the DNA test(s) that prove the NRP not to be the biological parent of child(ren). If PWC refuses to allow a DNA test the case will be closed (if there is only 1 QC named) or the appropriate child(ren) will be removed from the application if there are multiple children. The PWC can re-apply naming QC(s) at a later date and the NRP will be asked again if they accept paternity of QC(s), if paternity is accepted the case will be opened and assessed, if paternity is denied DNA testing will be re-offered. 3. If NRP accepts paternity on initial MEF call and later questions paternity NRP must advise CSA and will be advised that they are required to obtain a Declaration of Non-parentage via the courts. The CSA will not pay the costs of obtaining a Declaration of Non-parentage. If a Declaration of Non-parentage is obtained the case will be closed – or the appropriate QC will be removed from the case. If a Declaration of Non-parentage is not supplied to the CSA the case will remain open. Liability for CM for a QC for whom NRP has obtained a Declaration of Non-parentage will cease from the date the paternity dispute is reported to the CSA, if however the NRP reports a dispute and does not take action to obtain a Declaration of Non-parentage within a reasonable time the case worker can decide to issue a refuse to review – example of which would be NRP calls CSA 1st March 2010 and states they dispute paternity of QC A, is advised to apply to court for Declaration of Non-parentage but fails to apply until 20th Nov 2010 a case officer may decide to issue a Refuse to Review letter on 30th June (these timescales are not specific). If NRP does not provide the Declaration of Non-parentage within a reasonable time but contacts the CSA to report that there are delays due to PWC not complying with the court the dispute can remain open. Paternity of QC(s) can be presumed on any application where the NRP does not respond to MEF calls and fails to return the MEF form. If paternity is presumed and NRP later disputes this NRP will be required to obtain a Declaration of Non-parentage via the courts. Paternity – re-applications If a PWC closes a case where paternity was previously accepted by the NRP and at a later date the PWC submits a re-application the NRP will be contacted – again initially by phone and if no response MEF form and covering letter – NRP will be asked if they accept paternity of QC(s) – paternity of a QC accepted in a previous case can be denied in a re-application. Paternity of QC(s) previously denied and proven via DNA testing cannot be denied on a re-app. If paternity is disputed for QC(s) on a re-application DNA testing will be offered on the same basis as paternity denied for QC(s) on a new application

    section 20 in court to get a DNA test carried outApplication to the courts under Family Law
    At any time the alleged non-resident parent or the parent or person with care can apply direct to a court for the courts to determine parentage.
    These decisions are binding on the CSA.
    When an application is made, the courts will usually request DNA tests.
    What happens once the dispute is resolved?
    If the alleged non-resident parent is proved to be a parent of the child any unpaid arrears of maintenance will be due. The CSA will take enforcement action if it is not paid.

    If an alleged non-resident parent is proved not to be a parent of a child either by a DNA test result, or a declaration made by a court, the CSA will revise its decision. Any maintenance previously paid can be paid back.
    paternity testing fill in a court C1 form A week later you should receive a letter detailing the judges comments The application should be for a Declaration of Parentage whether you are or are not a parent under S55A Family Law Act 1986 and commenced by a petition

    @ Chall, have you got a problem with me posting factual posts here for people to get help??? I know you run a group called a fairercsaforall, No offense the group has never helped me when desperatly needed, I have had to help myself through tough times where CSA are concerned, all i see here is you getting at me for trying to help people out of a shit time the way i did it for myself, without joining a group or paying massive amounts of money,

  • chall says:

    Lisa,

    wlif suggested John ask the CSA to supply him with a copy of the CSL100 booklet, not sure why you should have an issue with me providing the link to such, after all it’s on the internet for all access…

    @ Chall
    I have no problem with you doing anything, just seems everytime i post you come back with smething else saying im wrong etc,

  • topper says:

    It is quite possible that Chall has the correct info and wishes to allow other people access to the correct info??

    I have read a few of Chall’s postings, they seem as though they are vaild, concise and accurate, surely if people are looking for accurate, concise, facts, then does it really matter where or from whom they come??

    It is also possible Lisa, that sometimes your info is incorrect, out-dated or even possibly copied from another author??

    Just an observation.

    @ Topper

    No the information is correct, and to be fair was taken from the CSA website, i dont copy other peoples work, this is also clarified as being correct from correspondance to CSA regarding a man on our facebook group who is facing a similar problem
