Payments to the Child Support Agency

My husband’s ex wife has gone to the CSA for payment for his two children after nearly 5 of him paying her privately. We are in severe financial trouble and we have had to pay a few months at an agreed lower amount.

She has now done this and the csa have told us they will take a lot more money than we were paying before.This has left us in a big mess and we are facing financial ruin. We will not be able to pay are rent,household bills and we are struggling to buy food and petrol for my husband to get to work. The stress of this has made me ill with worry.

Is there any help or advice you can offer?
