The CSA’s policy is so unfair
The CSA`S policy sucks big time. I have from 4 children from a previous relationship, which there father died when the woungest were 7 weeks old. I gave up my job to bring my children up. I MARRIED MY HUSBAND TWO YEARS AGO AND HE WAS UNEMPLOYED DUE TO PERSONAL REASONS AND AN UGLY SEPARATION from his ex-partner.He has not been allowed to see his son since he was three, he is now 11. He got a new job in March and now the csa are demanding a cut of his wages for a child he is not allowed to see. In effect we were actually finacially better off when we where both unemployed. We are raising 4 teenagers and his ex-partner earne more money than we both do combined.So can ANYONE out there tell me how this is fair? This is affecting all of our family. Oh and by the way , in the 10 years that my 13 years that my childrens father was dead….does that mean that I should have been GIVEN money from the csa, after all he was still absent!I hate this system.

Hi.
It’s not fair but Gordon Brown never envisaged such scenarios. The CSA was an ill-thought out scheme and an administrative nightmare from day one.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking of ‘fair’ & the ‘CSA’ in the same breath. The two are mutually exclusive.
Mate i understand your pain the best thing this government could do is scrap the csa to many families are getting hurt and the ones that get hurt more are the kids who live with you
The other problem you gonna have is you he cannot just leave his job and go back on benefits
Csa dont care if u see kid or not if there done it where the day pays and gets to see there kids

But you were happy to claim Widowed Parent’s Allowance “The amount you get is based on how much your late husband, wife or civil partner paid in National Insurance contributions. In some cases, you may be entitled to an additional pension. The maximum Widowed Parent’s Allowance (WPA) is £112.55 a week.”
Get a life!
