I’m sure the CSA is paid to fob people off
My ex is self employed as a painter and decorator, I know he earns anything between £75-£100 a day.
He has been paying me maintenance to the tune of £38 a week for two children for many years.
He lives with his girl friend who ISNT a high flier and they both regulary go abroad and we arnt talking Spain we are talking Cuba and Jamaica.
Made numerous buys for the home, new suite for the lounge and has a drug habit too.
I’ve contacted the CDA numerous times last time today where I was told if they call him and he says he hasn’t had a change in finances then there isn’t anything they can do yet he gets paid half cash in his hand and the other half into his girlfriends bank account. I’m giving them the information they need but fob me off telling ME to call the inland revenue which I have also done in the past with no avail.
It’s my girls who are suffering and dipping out on the things they should require. Without “mum” having to keep saying “I haven’t got the money”.
The government needs to step up and investigate these so called employed at the CSA because I’m sure they get paid to fob people off, I guess it would be a different story if the ex was on a contract and paid monthly as it’s easier for the CSA to deal with.

It isn’t a lifestyle competition, just because he lives better than you do doesn’t suddenly mean you are entitled to more money, go and earn your own. If he is self employed then his payments are based on his tax contribution not what you THINK he earns.
Get a job
good for him you too can earn that much & if you get a job you will be in the real world not jeremy kyles !
Notice you’re all male. For your information I work two jobs.
In fact I work my socks off to give my children the things they require.
Unlike their father who puts his “lifestyle” before his children, you sound like there bitter people!!
I only want for my children what they require, takes two to bring a child into the world and SHOULD take two to bring them up!
Give that bloke a pat on the back, at least he pays…….some don’t!
Have you thought about asking your ex for a private arrangement for maintenance? The csa are unfair the more ppl earn the more they take…despite kids up and down the country must cost the same! I mean child benefits are fixed amounts not based on %. Could anyone afford 15 – 40% of their salary deducted…no wonder ppl try everything they can to avoid the csa! Plus they conjure up arrears through reassessments years after you thought you were paying the correct amount.
I would suggest speaking to your ex saying I do need more money if you are able to contribute, give examples, don’t judge him for having a life…and ask if a private non csa agreement can be made.
