If you want a reduction of earnings on your wage slip for the next 17 years you will never get a decent loan or mortgage in the future. Offer her a private arrangement if this is your future intentions.

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.

This isn't true. If you are separated but living in the dame house the CSa is still due. Be careful because the CSa won't take any direct payment of bills into account in their calculations. I would suggest you pay half the bills if you are still in the house and then give her the required CSa money too.

.if you are married and living with your wife, you can't be forced to pay child support. If you are not married and not living with the mother of your child, you must pay child support. If you ARE married but not living with your wife, you must pay child support.

Now i am confused.......

We are seperated....living in the same house.
I pay 1/2 bills, mortgage and part food.

This is rather a lot of money.
So i cant see what they can do if i'm already paying......

"IF" i have to pay on top of that this will just cripple me......

Its not 100% clear how much you should be paying, although 15% is the start figure you (still being in the house) could argue the position that you have the children for a high number of overnights which would reduce the figure

Even if she moves out and you are paying martial debts yourself the CSA would still use those " variations" against any payment you make. Been there done that.
