Life after divorce

Hi,

Just a quick question for you. I am nearly divorced and just finished my college course and am due to start work next week. I informed my ex of this and she said 'I will inform the CSA'. She is also working and I now have a new partner with her 2 children. Do the CSA take into account mortgages and things like that???
I will only be earning £1000 a month to come home with and by the time I pay just the standard mortgage, council tax, gas and electric it comes to £750 approx before buying food or paying for debts I took out with my ex while I was married.

I am not trying to get out of paying maintainence and have the kids 3 times a week and they sleep 1 night a week but seems like I wont have enough money to feed myself!


thanks

scott,
no the csa look at your nett monthly income to decide on how much is fair, the csa have a calculator here .

No offence but how can it be fair if you cant afford to pay for a roof over your head in a home that my children stay?

I have done the calculator and once I pay maintainence I will have more going out than I have coming in! And that is just standard living costs ie mortgage, utility bills and food!!!

Gonna have to correct you there tets , what the NRP pays is all on a set % of their net income and not what the CSA deem fair.15%, 20% and 25% with upto 40% if you have arrears .

Hi Scott,

Unless these matters have changed in recent years, the need for a NRP to eat and have a home are irrelevant! Please someone tell me that this is not still the case!
