Maintenance Stopped

Totally agree my due to be ex, got a whacking payrise in April, and was advised by his financial advisor that he should plough it all into his already substantial pension fund. Apparently that is a loophole in the CSA system, so it meant no extra maintenance for his two children. So whilst he drives round in his new mercedes, I am struggling to bring up 2 children. He doesn't pay gor anything else, because his children don't want anything to do with him for what he was put us all through (having affair after affair). I'd like to see him provide for them both on the money I get, he would get a clearer picture then! Here's hoping pensions are worth toss all in 20 years time!!

I spoke to him on Saturday (he arrived for contact, hurrah!) and he told me that he had already sent everything to the CSA, but they wouldn't accept his wage slips?

He also said that because his employer is banned from having anything to do with court proceedings (long story, but he pretended to be support worker, got ivolved in the case when he shouldn't have been) that the CSA won't let him have anything to do with them? He then changed his mind and said it was his solicitor who had said he wasn't allowed to get involved.

Surely the CSA and the court case are two seperate things, and shouldn't be classed as the same though?

I don't think it has anything to do with the children proceedings. When payslips are handwritten or do not contain certain information they are not accepted as proof of income. Employees have the right to be provided with a pay slip that contains the correct information so if this is the case your ex will need to take it up with his employer. Alternatively the CSA can approach the employer who is legally obliged to comply with their requests.

He is saying that they won't except payslips from him, nor his employer, and that his employer has sent them a letter too, with the details.
If they can't get the information from them, will they be able to get it at all? Or not?

It is an offence for someone not to produce information about income required by the CSA.

If the NRP cannot produce the information required for the CSA to do the calculation and the information cannot be obtained from an employer the CSA may then apply a default rate.

I had similiar trouble with my Ex, and he is a director of the firm he works for. The CSA kept requesting information from Ex and he didn't respond. Delaying tactics I have learnt since whilst he sought financial advice and ploughed his money into pension funds, which is a loophole in system. The CSA did finally sort it out - they faxed his employers and said that is the information wasn't provided, it would be taken to court and a default rate would be applied.
