CSA Calculations

Hi All,

My ex has requested a personal change in circumstances with his maintenance payments and has also all of a sudden after x amount of years decided his pay frequency has changed!

I''m assuming this is because now he has had legal advice he has found out that he can get a reduction due to OW''s children living with him.

Can anyone help me with the calculations? Stbxh has 2 children with different mums, one of which (not mine) sleeps over 52 nights a year. I currently get £30.50 p/w. What kind of reduction will i be looking at based on OW''s 2 kids?

I''ve tried asking stbxh what is going on and hit a brick wall. Just another way to shirk his responsibilities IMO!!

Hi, I know the calculation reduction for one child living in the house is 15% but not sure of two children? Sure there will be someone along soon who knows for sure!

Just wanted to give my support, I have many dealings with CSA and my ex''s payments, and it''s like wading through mud most of the time! Seems that if they want to get out of paying they can.

OK, he is paying maintenance for both your daughter and his daughter by his first wife. That means he''s paying 20% of his net income in maintenance of which 10% goes to you. This means that his net weekly income is likely to be £305 per week (£30.50 / 10 x 100).

If he is living with 2 other children, the first 20% of his net weekly income is discounted. His income to be considered is therefore £244 (£305 x 80%)

You would therefore receive 10% of this sum, so £24.40 per week. As there are no overnights at present there would be no further reductions.

If he has overnight stays the amount would be reduced by one seventh for each overnight per week (minimum of 52 per year). If he has two overnights per fortnight this sum would be £20.91 (£20.40 / 7 x 6).

Thanks u6!!

I dont understand why it goes down at all though tbh. They dont seem to take into account that OW pays for her own children and receives CSA also, so why is my stbxh obligated to pay for them above his own children?
