Confused over maintenance.

We are still living in the same house till finances are sorted.....believe me it's not fun!

However she is saying i'm not paying any child support and is making moves towards CSA.

I've never said that I won't pay and I know how much it will be when everyone has moved on. The bit that gets me is I am still paying a large sum into the 'joint account' at the begining of each month but still she insists that I should be paying on top of that.

The way I see it is that I am still paying mortgage, bills.....etc, etc.....so am i right thinking CSA will not pursue due to the large amount of money going in and also we are still living in the same house?

Thanks.

She's having a larf. You can't pay CSA if you both live together... sounds to me as though she's trying to get a reaction or she does not know the system at all.

Tell me about it......

She has been trying for a reaction since July....and still not had one.

No injunction order, occupancy order or anything like that yet, as i've not done anything.

No harassment, violence or the likes.

By the way, if you do separate and she gets the CSA involved, you will have to pay 15% of your net wages to her regardless of your mortgage or any other debts. Perhaps offering a private arrangement may be a better option if you can? Good luck mate.

"a private arrangement may be a better option if you can?"

It would if someone was to listen and not be focused on money and greed!!!

I have no problem with CSA and I have no problem with paying it.

Thanks anyway.

Well, to me, if you are paying through a voluntarily private arrangement this would not show up on your wage slip as opposed to a CSA arrangement. If you want another mortgage in the future, a private arrangement might look a bit better than a CSA charge.

Ah....see what you are saying now.
