Why should I have to pay my ex twice?
Back in 2010 my x partner asked for a advance of maintenance payments, i agreed and a family based agreement was drawn up and signed by us both. the family based agreement was that the advance payment, that i made was full and final settlement.
My x partner has now decided that she is not happy with this arrangement and has made a application for child maintenance.
The CSA will not take the family based arrangement for the advance maintenance payments i have made into account, even though they promote that you indeed try and set up a family based agreement on the internet.
They say it matters not !!! even with a solicitors letter and a letter from my MP. I have always paid for my children and i beleive that i have acted as a good parent, but now i feel that this so called double dipping is a step to far. Why should she be paid twice ?
Any help or advice on this matter will be greatly appreiciated.
Regards
Parent not knowing which way to turn ……

If you have paid an amount to your ex wife and she has then contacted the CsA you need to take your ex to a small claims court. You have a valid proof of claim and she has no valid defence.
Contact your local court to ask for an N1 (iirc) and sue her
Once paid my ex through Direct bank transfer and sent CSA proof there reply was that it was a gift rather than maintenance. Sometimes I think your really better off contacting CSA straight away after a break up even if you pay money and its tracked they make up load of bo%^&^&^^& a gift I ask you.
