Variation order to CSA payment

Hi all.

I pay my XW tchild support for one child via the CSA. We had an involunatary agreement where I paid much more than I should really have needed to at the time but did not mind as I was not happily remarried at that stage.

Her stupid new boyfriend insisted that she file for monies from me via the CSA and ended up with a lot less. and I just pay what they say.

I have my child with me for 5 days/4 nights every other week and also since remarrying have another child at home.

I am in a lot of debt as a result of the previous goings on and am struggling to make ends meet and that includes paying for things for our children when they are here.

Before we seperated, she got £5000 from me as an anticipated house sale profit so she could move out. When the house sold, I was short by £5000 and have had this debt ever since. So she walked away with a nice lump sum and i was left the same sum in debt.

She also promised to pay half the divorce fees and still owes my parents half of a car loan.

Will a variation order with ther CSA be successful if I apply on the above grounds and how much am i likely to save?

Thanks.

It won't I'm afraid. They don't get involved in the technicalities of someones life only the taxable income and numbr of overnights.

Have you thought about small claims court for some of it such as the car loan?

Then howcome they have sent me a form to fill in called "applcation for a variation order" based upon my discussion with them that i am still paying off former matrimonial debt !!!!!!!!!

You can put it down but usually the only things they look at is if you were still paying the mortgage in the house your ex and children lived in AND had no financial interest in the property.

I've already been down there with this one.

if this all happened prior to the claim with the csa they will most likely not take it into account, the person who issued you the variation from should not have as it is not likely to be a valid claim
