Self employed father not declaring his correct earnings
I had a call from the csa this morning.
After investigating my case they had awarded my 9 year old daughter payments of £5 per week from her father, who is self employed and has his own buisness & has a new father in law who has fiddled his books. He does cash jobs, he doesnt declare and laughed when i told him it was a joke.
He has far more money than me, which is evident with regular holidays, meals & trips out, numorus cars & new vans ect.. I went to the csa for help, all they have exceeded in doing is allowing him to get away with what he said he would, which was to fiddle it!! I guess with £5 per week her new school shoes will take a while!

How I agree with the letter regarding self-employed fathers. My daughter who seperated from her partner June 2009 has received 3 x payments of child maintenance for her son and nothing from November 2009. She contacted the CSA who began proceedings. Her ex-partner did not co-operate with the CSA until an interim amount of £113.00 per week was forwarded to him – then he acted.
He is self-employed and declared his earnings were approx £114.00 per week and his maintenance was assessed at £6.86 per week. He is living in a large detached bungalow runs 2 x vehicles how I wish I had his life style on £114.00 per week!
This is all because he is self-employed and a director of a limited company and in the accounts he claims his directors pay is the aforementioned £114.00 per week.
What happens to the rest of the money from the company.
It beggars belief that nothing else can be done – all this is legal and above board. The CSA have been very good with my daughter but at the end of the day £6.86 per week is pathetic it doesn’t even buy half my grandsons weekly food!
Good job she has good parents.
It is a disgrace, i have chased csa since 2005 for payments and still not a thing. They say that because my ex is self employed its hard for them to get money off fathers in this catagory. He owns a buisness.
I have to deal with my ex going away on about 4 hols a yr with his wife and his other 2 kids, while my 2 boys miss out.
This should not be allowed, it was best when the courts used to deal with it.
After my ex husband tellin me he would stop payin child support when our son was 16 I was advised to report this to the CSA early, before he turned 16. I did this as we had previously arranged the money between ourselves. They looked into this and as he is self employed they needed his books which were not supplied so they worked out the payments on the national average which was £20 less than our agreement. That meant I got £200 a month. After 5 mnths the CSA now have his accounts and surprise surprise he hardly earns any money! So I am now entitled to £10 a week and owe them back pay which means I will finally pay the money I owe him back by the time my son is 18 so in effect I or we get nothing. He has a thriving business, numerous vehicles, very nice house, wife who does not work and stepson but he earns no money!!! He has a few sideline that help hm earn his cash and yes I will be in touch with HM customs about tax evasion. There will be justice. My son who is working very hard at school has got himself a job to help us out, doesn,t now want tp see his dad. Think somehow I am richer.
please all join the facebook groups (child support agencies failings and others) for free advice and support from other who have gone through similar probs too, like me! Hopefully will help as I have been campaigning for years to get this ‘system’ changed and will continue even though my case has been ‘closed’ because I want justice.
I am going through the same problem! My ex partner is self employed and pays me £35 a week through CSA for my two children. He doesn’t declare all of his earnings. He owns two houses, one of which he rents out, runs two vehicles, spends £60 a week on cigarettes, can afford to have decorators and builders in and has paid thousands of pounds on Solicitor letters sent out to ex business partners over a dispute against a business he was once involved with and all this on £200 a week income. The CSA are aware of this but because his business books are clean, of course they would be and the tax man is happy with that, then there is nothing i can do. So i reported him to the tax man for benefit fraud. He also claims working tax credit, the cheek of it because he apparently is on a low income. Yeah right! I reported him a week ago and i’m expecting it to take a long time before anything to come of it. Will keep you posted!
I think we should protest against the CM rules and go straight to parliament !!!
My ex husband has a property portfolio worth over £2.5 million. He receives £280k per annum from rental income but apparently he only earns £10k. He runs a fancy BMW a nice house having an extension done at the moment and only ha to pay me £120 per month for 2 children. I pay for everything. It’s disgraceful !
Something has to be done now.
Let’s all protest and go to parliament, let’s get the laws changed and let’s get these selfish fathers to pay what they owe and at least think about their children. It’s all wrong.
