Hi, I've just discovered this wonderful resource of a forum following my divorce last year.!
I have been fully divorced around 3 months, 14 year old twins, basically want to live with me full time, came to a head when I picked them up from mums after she got drunk and passed out a month back... we were 50:50 before that, good salaries so no need to involve CSA
Following the incident I have filled a c100 and got initial hearing date... but...
Got a call from the ex today, she is happy for me to have full custody without the court hearing..
This is good, but I am wondering
1: How official do I need it to be to get her CSA contribution
2: I earn more than her, we are both in the basic range, but I think I am probably earn around 10-15k a year more, is the calculation impacted by that disparity, or is it a simple matter of the paying parent inputs their salary.
Any advice welcome.
Hi,
As you have hearing coming up, i would still go ahead with it and formalize arrangements, just incase she backtracks. If you intend to open CMS case against ex, then high chance they will ask to see court order. Also they use child benefit to determine who kids live with. So good idea to get child benefit transferred to you.
With CMS system, they only concerned about non resident parents income and use that to calculate maintenance.
