Hi guys
Basically my ex wife (were still married just separated soon to get divorce ) has decided to go the CSA, we had a private arrangement, but she not letting me see my child, I’m only seeing them for 4 hours once a week, she refused mediation and now she’s put in a child arrangement to the courts she awaiting an answer, so now I’ve received a letter from the CSA, my ex went back home with her parents, and the fact she not actually allowing me to see my child properly there n domestic abuse, I had an affair and she still very angry which I can understand, but will the CSA take my situation into consideration regarding the fact myself and my ex will eventually be going to court about a child arrangement, and the fact she lives at home, and the fact she restricted access to my child.
hello and welcome on here.
I'm afraid the CMS only look at the past/current situation, and not what is going to happen, so they will base maintenance purely on your gross income (less pension) and there won't be any current deductions for number of nights the children are staying as they currently aren't.
Once the child arrangement order is in place, then you can go back to CMS for a recalculation.
