My husband was made redundant last year, and the CSA put us on a nil payment. My husbands ex was fine with this because she is on benefits and only received £10 per week or something similar.

Roll on, and my husband has found a job. YAY. CSA were informed and we haven't heard anything for ages. In the meantime as we have more money coming in we have started to pay for uniform/school trips/clubs/swimming lessons etc that happen during their mummy time because she is short on cash, and as we aren't paying CSA we have the ability to.

Now I am getting worried there will be a massive backlog of payments to pay. Part of me thinks the children are having a better life now and their mum is certainly calmer that she has more ready money.

I also worry that the CSA didn't get the letter we sent and they are just going to go mad when they get back in touch that he has been working :(

Contact the CSA to make sure they got the letter if your husband is not paying anything still i presume they never got it or they have'nt done a new assessment in which case he will now have arears as his ex was/is on benefits this is money the CSA are going to make sure they get back as really its the goverment's money for his ex being on benefits.

This is my thought on the subject. But, it is also nice to be able to do stuff for the children that neither of the families could normally afford.

My husband is just of the opinion they will catch up with him when they catch up with him and not to worry. I like to worry.
