Will the CSA just take my earnings into account or my husband’s too?
Hi can anyone advise please?
My son has lived with me since my ex partner and I split over 8 years ago. my son is now 9 and recently decided he wants to live with his dad. This has all come about since his father was made redundant 6 months ago and has struggled getting a new job, without sounding cynical his father saw him once a week and worked away in London for the rest of it. never gave me a penny, neither (foolishly) did I chase for money! earned £50,000 + a year etc… but is now going down the road of CSA within a month of my son moving in!
Advise part….I met someone new a few years ago and two year ago HE set up a business and i draw a salary of £650 per month for doing the books We are not married but do have a daughter together now.
Will the CSA take all our money into account or just my £650? also if he is playing nasty will the CSA take into account all the back pay due?
Help please…
Many thanks
Michelle

the CSA will only take into account your earnings as your sons mother I am sure. Also they only work from the date the CSA received the call to open the claim, they will not back date.
As far as i am aware, the csa’s calculations are based on your household income, which implies that your patner’s income will be taken into consideration.
On CS2, that is cases opened after 2003, they only look at the NRP’s income.
Because the case is only just opened, the CSA cannot touch your partners earnings, just yours, hope that helps,
I thought it was only the nrp income that was taken into account?? if in doubt best to ring them and check
Michelle,
In addition to the comments above;
A case with the CSA commences once the agency have made initial contact with the non resident parent.
Also, on current rules for child support purposes if your household is in receipt of;
Working tax credits; Are deemed the income of the higher earner. If earnings are equal, they are split 50/50.
Child tax credits; Are deemed the income of the NRP.
