The CSA Only Goes After Those Who Want to Pay
My ex-husband is quite an expert at job-hopping. As the CSA will only make an assessment when someone informs them of a change of circumstances. As my ex-husband never informs them when he is working and stops working as soon as they get in touch with him, in the last 7 years, he has only every paid arrears. He has probably earned hundreds of thousands of pounds during this time but has only paid £40 per month for the last 4 years.
I understand the frustration of fathers who want to support their children but there are at least as many who will avoid supporting their children at any cost. The CSA does not serve either the loving absent parents or the loving resident parents. Why can’t we have a service which shows some common sense and actually has some powers so that those who do pay are treated fairly and those that don’t pay are not allowed to continue playing the system?

Alison – you and your husband are a total disgrace and I hope the children when they get older will realise this, you should be ashamed of yourselves about how you treat your children, disgusting!
Karen,
Being the PWC, I find your comment offensive. My husband and I are the ones who have provided everything for our children – support, guidance, a balanced upbringing and all the love in the world – none of which they receive from their absent father, who has said on more than one occasion that the children are only his responsibility when they are with him (one day per month to fit in with his busy lifestyle). If this makes me and my husband a total disgrace, I hold my hands up now. Or maybe you misread the original post?
I can understand why you are dodging your responsibility. The system is a disgrace!
It’s the CSA staff and system; I pay on the dot but the way you are treated makes you feel like a criminal.
And if you treat people like criminals….
It has been at least 5 months since I checked this website and I get goosebumbs when I read the stories as they dont get any better, in fact they get worse and when I read the stories all I can say is I feel sorry for everyone who is going through this hell hole with the CSA.
My wonderful ex partner who was a wonderful Father to his children has his house taken from under him and the CSA didnt give a sh** about him. It was all about his ex wife who had affairs after affairs. He paid his maintenance and we took the children on holidays. I bought them more than their Mother ever did and they hated leaving us to go back home.
Mother of the Year hounded my ex and told him 4 years ago that she would sort him out and get every penny he had and my God did she do just that with the help of these lovely CSA people.
Taking his home has destroyed him and his children never got ONE penny from the money she was given out of the sale of his home but of course that doesnt count as Mother of the year can do what she wants with this money.
When you go down the route of the CSA be prepaired for a battle because thats all it is. It was 2 years of hell for my ex partner and believe me there are no winners in these situation. The stress it causes is unreal and from my experience the CSA dont care about the NRP and made it quite clear to my ex partner ‘Tough we are coming after your house’ thats the way it is.
If you can sort your problem out without going down this route do try as the children loose out in the end as it becomes a battle field
my ex partner to whom i have two children, keeps job hopping and leaves his job as soon as csa find out where he works and attach a deduction to earnings, more often than not it takes csa a long period of time to find out details of his employment, which enables him to work for months on end with no deductions from the csa.
is there any way that something can be done ??? it sucks that he kept everything from the split even mine and the kids personal possesions, clothes, toys everything we only had the clothes we were stood in, and i am paying for things that are on credit which he has and also, having to start from scratch is leaving the children without, especially now that i cant work as i need to provide 24hr care to our son who has down syndrome, yet he works and is laughing at me struggling and gets away scott free, surely he has a dutie to provide something for his children??
