Paying CSA while child is in care and ex keeps money
I found out in august 2009 i was a father to a 13 yr old girl.
I had no contact with the mother in all those years and was suprised after a dna test i was the father. I started to pay the csa in septenber 2009 then in december 2009 if found out the child was in care and hadnt lived with the mother for sometime.
I informed the csa of this but they wernt intrested. It took me a year of gathering evidence and information until they finaly closed my case in september this year, even though im still paying arrears until december i5 2010!
I asked if id get any money back as ive paid the mother this money for over a year and she never had care of the child so the child has never benefited from the money ive paid, but the csa are refusing to refund me any money even though they know now the child was in care all the time i was paying.
I feel this is very unfair. Why i have paid the mother who has put her child into care? Please could you advise, thank yo?

be concerned for your poor kid whos in care not stresin bout money !!! idiot .
I feel for that child.
If the child has been put into care then you should not be paying
Your poor child – as her father, can't you look into seeing her, taking care of her and maybe having custody of her?
Write to the ICE that is wrong. And you can get your money back. Good luck. (Do you know so many women on this site need a slap.)
If the child is in care then the Mother shouldn't be getting any money! if anyone should get it.it should be the authorities..and that money should come from BOTH parents.
if you child is still in care why cant you have her with you then claim form the CSA and i am sure you would make a better home for her than where she is now.
you need 2 seek custody and claim from your ex!!!
