My other half has been paying csa for the last 6 month after his ex got greedy and wanted a lot more from him then she should need even though he has never missed a payment for his child we now have a daughter together and think that his csa payment are to much considering he has his other child at least 4 times a month over night and has to buy all new things for her at our house he is struggling to make the payments but csa are never helpful when he rings up to discuss the situation as we both do not understand why our child has to go with out because he has to pay out so much for his other child as well as all our other household bills is there anything we can do about this ?
If the assessment was only done six months ago, they would have accounted for your daughter you have together I assume?
Did you tell them you have his child overnight?
You need to check the paperwork to make sure they have taken 15% off his net wages for the child that lives with you, also any pensions he has and then deduct 15% off that total for his child minus 1/7 for shared care
Yes we have done all that our daughter was born 3 months ago so that is all sorted. And the csa have been informed of the overnight stays but nothing has changed. We have been on the calculated to see what that says and we understand it is an estimate but that said he should be paying 33 a week but he is paying almost 50 a week
So have your payments not gone down since you had your daughter?
