Hi I have recently changed my employment after being employed for 2 years. We have an agreement that was arranged through the clarification but I make the payment via my bank. but I stupidly never updated my payments to my Ex my daughter. I have been paying based on the original salary of £16k, however I have been earning closer to £36k for the last couple of years & I'm worried that they will back date this. I just want to be prepared for having to backpack on top of new monthly payment.
Could someone please give me an indication of the worst case scenario
Thanks
Hi there
Worst case scenario, if you were paying under a statutory agreement with the CSA then if they become aware of your salary increases, they could re calculate to take the wage increases into account.
If your arrangement was due to a private agreement with the mother then there isn't anything the CSA could do about that and you wouldn't be liable for any arrears.
Thanks for your comments.
I pay direct to her mother but the amount payable was set by the CSA 5 years ago when we split.
What situation would this?
Have they asked for information about your previous earnings, what makes you think that they will look into this?
I had a conversation with my ex & her husband & I mentioned that I was leaving my job & told them what I earn & that the salary would be difficult to find elsewhere.... I got the feeling bybtheir reaction that they may follow this up with the CSA
...I guess you're just going to have to wait and see. I do hope for your sake that they decide to let it ride.
Yes I hope so too. Watch this space....
