Hi, I have recently been dismissed from my job on the grounds of medical inefficiency as could not work and on long term sick ( injury ) and should receive 3 months pay in lieu and some compensation for years of service to the company. I pay my ex wife directly although the csa tell me what to pay. I have never missed a payment over the years even while on sick pay but does anyone know what my ex wife can take via the csa from my lump sum and lieu pay ? I have just registered for incapacity benefit as cant work until my surgery and probably three months after that. Probably looks awful that I am thinking along these lines but my ex is vicious and will take every penny if she can even after all these years of payment. Any advice would be gratefully appreciated as bit of a stressful time at the moment and don't trust the csa to be honest. :boohoo: trying to find information for our side is driving me mad !!
Hi There,
I would imagine that your ex would be able to claim her normal monthly amount from your 3 months lieu of notice as this is effectively your wage, but not be able to take any of the compensation.
I would give the CSA a call and ask them, I have found them to be pretty helpful when ever I have requested information.
My comments above are only from my experience, I was made redundant a few years ago and my ex wasn't able to take any of my redundancy pay, only my final monthly pay.

I would agree with that. And doesn't look awful at all - it's not as if it was voluntary, and you have to live as well.
