Please help me with my CSA tribunal
We are at the end of our tether and would really appreciate some advice. My partner is going through hell due to his ex-partner. We live in France now but my partner has a small business in the UK. His ex has been very vicious and vindinctive since we got togther and has lied through her back teeth to stop him having access to his 2 children. It all got very nasty which is one reason we left the Uk and came to live in France, along with the fact I got a good job opportunity here. His UK business is very small and doesn’t make much money, it’s my income that keeps us.
He was assessed by the CSA at quite a low payment, which he himself agrees isn’t enough and would like to pay more. But the PWC has decided that because we live in France and he flies back to the UK for business he is obviously hiding money and she is taking her appeal to a Tribunal claiming “lifestyle inconsistant with earnings”. What he disclosed to the CSA was the whole truth, there is NO hidden money. The only thing that worries us is that she could take our house because it belongs to my partner, he owned it as a holiday home for years before we moved here. He owned it about 6 years before he met his ex.
He already has 2 kids that he absolutely doted on that he is no longer allowed to see and now he is worried we’ll lose our home. It is probably irrelevant but I am now pregnant. Also they were never married but were together about 5 years. Does anyone know how judgements are made?

If he agrees he pays a low amount, pay an amount that it suitable and then you wouldnt be going to a tribunal, sorry but no sympathy from me, pay for the kids you have first before having more, I wouldnt dream to having a child by a man who doesnt support his children properly in the first place. You have the cheek to put this on and think it justifies him moving to France.
Csa are a joke always have been.Some if not most of these single mums know what they are doing,they get rich while the workers get poorer. What rights does any mum have stopping the kids seeing their dads. My son just starting out with csa dreading the amount they come up with even though he has always paid maintenance,took them on holidays,had them at week-ends,now her mum (a work shy,benefit fraudster)has put her up to this. We will be going court depending on what the figures are and if need be going to the Europeon Law Courts as they listern more. Fathers have HUMAN RIGHTS TO LIVE!!!!!!!!
Megan,
The burden of providing proof for Lifestyle inconsistent with earnings would have fallen on the PWC and would have been required by the CSA.
Hopefully, if your OH has provided the info the agency require and has been honest, then he shouldn’t have much to fear.

The CSA are creating hell for my new partner & I, we’ve now been together for 10 years, and, to my disgust, the CSA have begun taking 40% of my wages, are taking proceedings to sell our home, even though I own only 25% of it, and, reckon I owe £47,000 to the secretary of state. My ex wife says she has never claimed benefits, only housing benefit, and then only until 2005. As the CSA say I should have been paying £55 a week, (even when I was homeless), this from 1996 to date is £46,000, however, as my ex only claimed until 2005, I reckon a figure of £28,000 is closer to what I actually owe. The thing is, I got in touch with the CSA in 1996 when we first broke up because I didn’t want to lose access to my children, then, as I heard nothing, again in 2005. By then however, they had issued court proceedings and I cannot seem to stop or slow things, even with contacting my MP and going to a Tribunal with an appeal. So, not only will I lose my new partners house for her, for a debt that is incorrect, but I still am unable to see my children, and I suspect the CSA do not care about this fact.
Colin,
You’ve omitted to state whether you have actually paid any child support for your children.
Generally, cases commence once the agency have contacted the non resident parent.
Could it be that the agency have taken your initial call to them in 1996 as the effective date for your case to commence?
Have you ever supplied your financial information to the agency to enable them to carry out a proper assessment OR are the figures based on a penalty assessment?
