Some advice would really be apprichiated here.....
I have been separated from my wife for over 12 months now. I have been paying CSA through my employer through the form of a deduction from my wages.
My wife, me and my farther own a property where my wife and kids live. She is refusing to pay ther 1/3rd of the mortgage repayments, so i have done for the past 12 months. the inland revenue are contributing towards her share, but i still pay the £40 shortfall each month.
Dose anyone know why the money I pay for the mortgage is not taken into account when calculating CSA payments? I feel it to be a bit unfair im being forced to pay CSA and 2./3rds of a mortgage where i no longer live.
Also, my wife has suggested I give her a lump sum, in return she will sign the house over to me and my farther. Dose anyone know if I will be stung for maintenance or other horrid payments the government system have in force for my wife to screw me over financially even more if I give in to her demands?
Thanks in advanced.
The CSA may (and only may - it's not guaranteed) take into account repaying a debt that you took on before you separated, if the debt was for the benefit of the family or your ex - I'd speak to the CSA again about this, as a mortgage may count - however, you won't simpyl get the £40 deducted from your maintenance, I would think that they will deduct the £40 from your takehome pay and then calculate the maintenance based on the new figure.
If your ex is prepared to let you buy her out of the house, then I'd take legal advice on this - the CCLC aren't able to give advice on matters other than cthat relating directly to the children.
