I think it’s 15% for 1 child from his net. And what ever for arrears. The total amount the csa are allowed to take is 40% but if this is deemed to much because of expenditure it can be dropped to a lower percentage rate. So for instance if he takes home say 1000 pm net the csa can take 400. However he may have rent of 500 pm council tax 100 pm which would leave him with 0 income. The csa put in place protected earnings. This is the amount the goverment set in place so that an individual can live.
In ll honesty you can’t have what someone hasn’t got.
Now on the other hand the csa don’t take your income into account. Just the fact that you receive child benefit seems to be enough.
So your ex pays 30 pw. If you put the same in that would be 60 pw for the child. Plus child benefit which is the child’s. I don’t know what child benefit amount is but let’s just say is 20 per month then that child should receive 260 per month.
Now the question is do you actually spend that amount on the child per month ?????
There it is, he owes your son, not you.
I will say Im glad your different from the majority. ie not a scrounger. It may not seem fair but the other side of the coin will be hes not gonna be happy either. the calculation above is correct. and lets be fair would you really expect a person to live on less than 50% of the money they have worked for. thus the system is not perfect but at least you are getting something unlike many others and while its not perfect it is fair.
Well said money grabbing cow
Work like we have to. You had a kid so you look after the kid. You want help with the kid off the father then let him have the kid on a weekend and spend on your kid. Afterall its the kid you should think about not your pocket…
Read the post she isn’t on benefits ie she already works ^^^ and where does it say the father don’t have contact??? Ffs. It will be because they can only get a Nrp to pay back up to 40% if their income. So some will be ongoing maintenance and some arrears.
I actually do work and I do pay for my children I do get help paying private nursery fees why I am at work.I work hard and my children never go without.the csa is in backdated payments which is where the 3000 pound comes from so it actually means he owes me for not providing for his son in the first place,he doesn’t want to look after or have my son,he walked out on us.I am not a money grabbing cow but I thing if you have a child you should provide for that child not just money,but love,support and in every other way possible.
And no I don’t expect any1 to live on 0 income,I no how hard it is to have no job,bills to pay and mouths to feed hence the reason I work my ass of every single day to support my family.and any1 that thinks different I don’t care,u don’t no me so ur opinion of me does not bother me in the slightest.oh and no he hasn’t paid his child maintenace for about 12 weeks now,so he’s again not paying a penny,he was happy why it was fun but like many men they can’t handle responsibility.
Believe it or not arrears are incurred and nearly always made up!! And it may surprise you to know that not everyone has £3k lying around and need some money from their income to live on whilst paying these fairy-story arrears!! God forbid a NRP should have some money left over to feed themselves or put a roof over their head for god sake!!!
fucking work and fucking work…I never had had help from state hand outs and never will cause im a man….get on with it and stop expecting your ex to give you an income.
point is…if the boot was on the MANS foot he get fuck all so fuck you
gonk
Are u a man who pays for his kids terry or u like the rest of the selfish losers?
Andrew Jones
you are in my gang and on the same planet unlike some of these twats
gonk
Sounds to me like either you don’t have kids or if you do u didn’t pay for them so ur exs screwed u over in that case serves you fucking right.you pair of jackass trolls
@ Sophie
yes I am a man that pays over £300 a month for his KID that was taken away from him through no fault of his own,her mother decides she don’t want me around anymore and takes her from me when she was 3 and this is my reward.
her mother that was sleeping with another guy. her mother that ensures I see nothing of my daughter to ensure she gets max cm.
WE on here SOPHIE are NOT selfish losers just trying to stand up for our rights…that’s a joke…lol what rights?
do you think I really want to waste my time bleating on here? if the csa was fair then this site would not exist
gonk
You fucking low life Sophie….jack ass trolls??? guys we have another Karen Bedford lets get ready to fucking rummbbbleee seems you are the fucking troll,pond life,
you tit bring it on !!!!
gonk
In that case what she is doing its completely wrong,I understand what you are saying,my situation is different to yours.my ex left me walked out and would not pay a penny,I worked hours on end to pay bills and put food on the table y he went on 2 holidays abroad a year but he said he couldn’t afford to pay for our child,he lives with his mom has no bills to pay and I’m sat there struggling and working hard why he enjoys his life because he can’t take responsibility for a child he helped bring into the world. I am not a money grabber,I was just merely asking the question.children need more than just money,they need support.love and understanding.I don’t think about my pockets I think about them,there future,college,uni and buying there first car.my kids no you have to work hard to buy nice things u don’t just get handed everything on a plate which is how u are making me out to be.
@Sophie…your words “screwed you over” yer sounds to me like you are familiar with those words…lol….you like the idea of screwing the man over do you ?…are you sure you aint the famous Karen Bedford skank ?
gonk
ok so we understand each other, don’t judge me and I don’t judge you, ignore last comment sent.. we are all victims of the csa…this is how thet destroy lifes between parents and the kids and create anger and bitterness.
gonk
I don’t judge any1 like I said every situation is different,I have Tried to get my ex to have acsess to our son and he don’t wanna no,I asked him to buy shoes or clothes he didn’t,my only option was the csa and that was honestly my last resort. I would never expect money for myself it goes into my bank and I transfer it straight into a savings account for my son. Think we got off on the wrong foot,and I appologise if I offended you 🙁
@ Sophie
sadly too many mothers only see their kids as cash cows and the ex as an ATM machine, I read your story only after you accuse and now see why you rant as I do. I take back what I said.
Sorry…I am not a troll just vent my anger on here at comments without founding or knowledge of those commenting on post to which im guilty of to…we need to vent our anger at the csa as it is neither fair to nrp or pwc
gonk
We are all guilty of doing that,we all jump the gun sometimes and I can also see why u are pissed off so its fair doos,anyway I am off to bed as I’m shattered and have work in the morning :(. Hope u get ur csa sorted x
me too to you…Sophie…you seem a nice person,its amazing how, when the fuller pic is told,how more understanding and supportive people are to others.Now I see how your ex is a jackass as my ex is and its because of idiots like your ex that the csa hound honest fathers like me. I never wanted this, my ex decided for me. Heres another reason why I am so bitter. she has another child that I brought up from when she was just 18 months old. she was 10 when we had our own daughter, then she walked when she was 3. screws me for csa….but the father of the girl I raised from 18 months never pays a penny even today…so my cm is also paying indirectly for his daughter that I brought up….is that fair morally? whos the mother and her other ex laughing at ? me….the good old mug ex.
gonk
@sophie, don’t give these lot the time of day. The father of your child should financially help you support his child, if the csa r taking £30 a week it must be all they r allowed to take from him. Can understand ur frustration but if he’s paying what he is asked to there’s nothing else that can be done. £3000 arrears for all them years doesn’t seem a lot so it would lead to believe that he has been on a low income or benefits. As long as your child has food in his belly, clothes on his back and lot if love and attention from you, all ur ex needs to do is help financially.
He earns 500 pound a week, he is behind on his payments again by 12 weeks , but I no if you put more money into your pension they take less child maintenance,maybe you should try that terry 🙂 x
The man is always behind on his payments regardless of what anyone says this is how it works.
They take the money from the father by honest payment or attachment of earnings or in some cases direct order the fathers bank enforcing them to pay it.
Then something very sinister happens the money disappears without trace for 6 weeks before the mother receives it.
Where does it go they are not audited they seem to operate without any law controlling them they don’t file any accounts or year end trading as they are supposed to all government agencies do except them they carry out their business without impunity.
I will tell you what happens to the money it goes into a city traders account where our money which supposed to go to our kids immediately ends up getting used by them for hedge betting and stocks and shares trading to make money for the government.
And before anyone says it doesn’t i have photographic evidence of traders sitting at screens which all say Trading Account CSA Open.
But of course they are above the law they can do what they want.

Yes I know this Sophie and intend to do just that, I begrudge being forced to hand over my money that I work for to my skank ex and have no say on how or if it spent on my daughter or pissed up the wall by her mother and partner,
Gonk id have no problem if i knew it was spent on my girl but we all know the csa dont give a toss about the kids
