My ex wife is under investigation for not declaring her full earned income, stealing money from her grandfather's dementure allowance as his Power of Attorney, fraudulently extracting electricity and has just purchased an expensive car. Should I still be paying her CSA?
hi,
if she is primary carer of children, then CMS still require you to pay. do you have any contact with the kids?
Hello,
Unfortanatly "Child maintance", supporting your child is "your" legal obligation. If you were to stop paying, you would only create a legal issues for yourself.
You should continue to pay. (Unless the CMS tell you not to).
Just a couple of questions? (You may have already considered).
Have you considered what would happen if your ex lands herself in prison? Even if your child ends up in care, the local authoritys can still claim maintance from you, through the CMS, under your obligation. (It is in the legislation).
'In your situation, I would be considering what would be best for your child'
What can you do, to look after their well being through this situation, above anything else? (What is in their best intrest. Forget the ex).
Even if the ex if found guilty. But recives no prison time. There may be other problems that come up. If you have regular contanct now. How will that be effected, if you refuse to provide aditional funds going foward "to help her out"?
All the stress on the RP, how is that directly affecting your childs mental health, at this point in proceedings. (What is home life like)?
"Definatly do not stop paying!"
In your situation, I would seek solid "legal advice" for the sake of both you, and your child.
I hope this helps.
