Why should he pay when the child lives with him?
I am so worried about my daughters and her partners position. They have an 11yr old son and my daughters partner has a 15yr old daughter who has been living with them for about 2months. They are all happy with the situation and the child mother has willingly let her daughter go to live with her Dad.
Obviously her Dad has paid maitenence payments for her since she was born and now attempted to cancel theses payments to his daughters mother. There began the trouble.
His ex partner was not at all pleased with this and has told the CSA that her daughter lives with her and her Dad has not seen her for months!!..Which is entirely untrue..The CSA have now said that he has to pay backdated payments for his daughte as he was given credits off his maitenence payments as they had been under the impression the child regulatly spent time each week with her Father and they now believed this was untrue…
This month the CSA have said they will take £1000 from his wages and £600 approx in Jan and Feb…then after that he has to continue paying maitenence to his ex partner…even though the child lives with him. The CSA believe and think he is lying. They wont ask the child as they said they will not involve her….They are at their wits end…I know for a fact that his daugter has always spent weekends with them as I have looked after my Grandson after school for years and have grown very fond of her….whats the answer??

Firstly get the child benefit in his name for the child this automatically means he should be paid maintainance not have to pay it. Next step is to make a formal complaint regarding this
The answer is the total destruction of the CSA along with all members of staff (freedom of expression)
He needs to start by claiming the child benefit (this is generally what the csa look at) and build up a portfolio of evidence that his daughter lives with him, I.e dentist being near by etc etc….I’m not to sure on whether he can go to court and get a residency order in place for his daughter? See a solicitor as you’re entitled to 1/2 hour consultation.
Write a letter of complaint to the csa, never ring them as the call centre muppets aint a clue on what they’re doing and make a trip to see an mp to kick the csa into touch!
