My daughters dad has never paid a penny for his daughter, when the CSA started to the process of taking money from his wage, following a dna test he gave his job up. My daughter is now 15 and is living with him. I have been contacted by the csa to give them my bank details to start paying him maintance this cant be right. I really want to fight it but dont have the money to pay the legal fees

  1. When you put a claim into the csa when your daughter was living with you were there any arrears? My understanding is, if he’s now put in a claim against you, it might off set the payments you have to pay.

    Write a letter to the csa and see what they come back with.

    He might be putting in a claim for spite because now your an nrp you’ll see just how csa will treat you differently when wanting money off of you.

    Good luck.

  2. Mind boggling, what an *r*s&0l3. Hope you can keep the moral high ground for another four years and it will be over. Daughters can be difficult at that age. She may be back before you know it 😉

  3. Got a job Duncan Smith earn a very nice wage thank you for the advice anyway. My daughter has realised which side her bread is buttered on and returned home not long after that post!! However while at her dads she was provided with everything she needed by me all clothing, footwear, toiletries, bus and dinner money. Money for outings with her friends. I made sure that my daughter was provided for and that he never got a penny of my hard earned cash!! When the claim was made by myself I was a mature student in university and was unable to make ends meet. However I have done it now without his help I now earn a very good wage while that excuse of a man claims benefits!! Goodluck to him and his 4 other children he has had since we separated hope all their mums are not expecting anything from him!!
