Hello all
just to cut it short - i use to give the mom money a month and noticed all she would do is go out and couldn't see anything on new on my childs back. I started to buy the nappies and clothes etc anything he needs and give it to her at the end of the month. No i get to see the money spent but she still makes it difficult causing arguments etc. I have receipts well some - i prefer it this way although it would be easier to just give her the money in the bank. Would the CSA accept me doing it this way along as i prove it?
p.s. is there a way to beat her to csa proving i do provide for him?
Thanks L
You need to pay it straight into her bank and mark it CHILD MAINTENANCE
but its not being spent on my child thats the problem so there no other way
No, the CSA won't take into account you buying nappies etc rather than paying maintenance I'm afraid.
They don't make sure the money is spent on the child, because the money is to help towards elec, gas, water, food for the child too which the mother would pay
