No your ex’s partner’s income will not be taken into account.
CSA only assess on her income
they take my income into account when assessing my partners payments to his ex for his son. They even take half of the tax credits we get into account!!
To be honest you may be a bit of a gold digger as well if your expecting your ex”s new husbands salary to be included in your ex partner and child’s assessment, put the ball in your court and would you expect your new wife”s salary to be included into you and your ex”s assessment get a grip it’s you and your ex’s child and deal with it not the new partners , the new partners don’t adopt the child unless agreed.
No they won’t. On the face of it it wouldn’t be justifiable to expect the new partner to get lumped with a massive CSA bill for a child they had no involvement in conceiving. It’s not their responsibility.
It is unfortunate in cases like yours though where you know she will give up work and get away with not contributing AND being lazy.
However, as the partner of someone who pays CSA to a mental, lazy, crazy ex, there is no way in hell I would hand over a single penny of my hard earned wages to her. That said, when the children are with us I am more than happy to buy them clothes and toys, pay for hair cuts, days out and holidays and generally spoil them rotten.
At the end of the day I didn’t concieve them and they are not my responsibility – but I do love them and will therefore do whatever it takes to help them out while they are with us, and in the future when they are old enough to come to me and ask for whatever they need.
I draw the line at putting my money into someone else’s bank account though.
So yes it seems a bit unfair on you, but hopefully you can see why it wouldn;t be fair to take the partner income into account. It would discourage people from forming new families and providing stability because anyone with any brains would think wice about getting involved with someone if there was a risk of getting stung by the CSA parasites.
The best you can hope is that your ex’s new husband is a good step-parent to them and does whatever he can for them when they are there.
Not that us ‘new partners’ get any credit for that ;o)
No it shouldn’t be/. My hubby is NRP and my wages aren’t used.
And to support all he aforementioned… only the mother and father should pay for the child… partners of either should not even be considered, similarly for second families… child tax credits should not be taken from one child to give to another…. the CSA system is all wrong… and serves all the wrong people..
I am genuinely sorry for your situation and hope something gets resolved as you sound like a decent father…. there are so many terrible mothers out there that the systems supports… it’s all wrong…
1. His Income will not be taken into account.
2. The CSA will ask for this to assess the “family units” disposable income with a view to making an assessment.
3. He has no legal responsibility to give this information and the CSA cannot force him to divulge.
4. Morally why should he be expected to pay for your children?? Morally this is an issue your ex wife should consider….and by the sounds of it you may well just have to accept her attitude towards this. Unfair though it is.
