Will claiming CSA give me ex parental rights?

My son is nearly 9yrs old and has never really had any contact from his father. In fact we have had a restraining order against him for assault for a number of years.

Now I have received a number of forms from csa asking me to claim. I have never received a penny off the man. Have no idea where he lives anymore.

If I fill in these forms would it give him any parental rights if csa claim anything from him?

  1. Why would they send you forms if you had not previously made an application?
    How would they have got hold of your information?
    People on benefits have not been required to apply through the CSA since 2010.
    The CSA is no longer taking new cases. It is now the child maintenance service.
    If you had an old case with the CSA that has been lying dormant they may have been trying to transfer you to the CMS.
    If you have never received maintenance in the past it is unlikely you will in the future.

  2. I have heard this one so many time s its a yawn

    so to the point . whern then your childs dad makes a payment it can not be argued that he is n ot the dad. the lAW WILL IMPLY THAT SINCE HE IS PAYING HE IS THE BIOLOGICAL PARENT, as a result he woill have parental responsibility which will enable him to make any application to the court . in your case most probably a contact order under section 8 of the children act.

    what I will tell you is the CSA are pretty much a unless option. you would be better off just talking to the dude.

    as a side note the granting of a restraining order is not an admission of guilt because they are granted ex parte meaning that it can be granted without the other party being present or even informed. at last look to contest such an order would be £1,300 so not really worthn doing if you are working.

    it does make contact arrangements very difficult because the ex may be subject to arrest for talkin to his child when the nmother is present.

    Im not saying that he wasnt violent I wasnt there. but on this forum my intention is to be fair.

    some use injunctions simply to prevent the dad having contact. while others have genuine concerns
