I'm in need of some advice and would be very grateful if i could receive some.
I pay CSA weekly to my ex partner always on time. I have to travel over 100 miles each way to get my kids which i do twice a month (28days), so its roughly around 500miles ish every month.
My ex is not willing to meet me halfway which i deemed as unfair, so would CSA take into account Travel expenses?
I have them overnight 4 nights a month and more days over holiday periods, they have taken that into account already.
I know the CSA rules, and I think CMS have followed these. The rule was that you were expected to pay the first £15 per week of expenses, and anything over this was deducted from your income, and then the remaining figure is used to calculate your liability. I'm afraid this does mean that the reduction for travel expenses falls a long way short of the actual cost, but at least it is something.
