HI newbie on here,

I seperated from wife 18 months ago, I moved out of marital home (rented) and have been paying informally for my 2 children. Ex has now decided to go the CSA route. I have met a new partner and she has asked me to move in with her.

Her house has no mortgage and she works part time.

The question I have is: Will there be any claim on my new partners assets? will her income be taken into account?

Regards

Welcome to wiki.

The CSA rate for 2 children will be 20% of your income. Are you paying more or less than that at present?

There is also the possibility of spousal maintenance to consider. This will depend on your and your wife's earnings and earnings potential as well as your separate income needs.

Your new partner's income and housing situation is relevant only in that you are sharing costs so your income needs are reduced and your housing needs are currently met.

Hello oferdad62.
Welcome to Wikivorce, do you know why your ex would want to go through the CSA when you had a private agreement? I never understood why someone would do that unless they thought maybe they could get more?
Hope you sort it out soon.
