Thanks for joining us on the forum – glad to have you here. You are welcome to post 24/7 but please note that whilst we have forum moderators we will only be moderating the forum during office hours. If though you need urgent crisis help, please contact Samaritans on 116 123.
Spurgeons and Dad.Info doesn’t investigate reports of abuse or neglect. But below, you can find advice on who to contact if you have concerns about a child or young person.
Reporting a concern
It can be difficult to know what to do if you think a child is at risk. It’s important to remember that if you’ve spotted things that don’t seem right, others will have too. Speaking up can make sure that child gets help as soon as possible.
The sooner you contact your local children’s social care duty team, the quicker they can act. They’re available 24 hours a day, and can make an anonymous report if that feels safer. If a child is in immediate danger, please call the police straight away by dialling 999.
Report child abuse or neglect to your local council

Can someone ask you the following questions?
I am currently paying CSA.
I am currently working and paying for 2 children.
If I was to have a house gifted to me by a family member, would this affect my CSA payments? and would it make any difference if I rented it out?
If I was to become self-employed, and was to own and run a shop, would this affect my CSA payments, and if so how?
If I was to have any assets, would this affect my CSA payments, or is it wholly based on my salary?
Many thanks if anyone can help me.

Hi Rob,
My understanding;
Assets over £65000 are taken into account.
If you rented your property then your ex may request a variation and that they are taken into account. Classed as unearned income and taken into account if over £2500 per year.
If you became self employed and were not declaring or minimising income then a variation may be requested by your ex to consider diversion of income. Not sure how it could be proved you were diverting or not but may require information from an accountant or suchlike.
Any false declarations are punishable....£1000 fine I think.
Regards,
Dave
