CSA payments

I am waiting for the csa to work out my maintenace. I believe that my stbx is about to move in with his new partner and her 2 kids. Will this have any bearing on the assesment?

Someone said to me it may well do as they count other children in the household? Even though they are not his???

Thanks

An adjustment can be made based on the number of children living with the NRP - as there will be 2 children living with your x2b, the CSA will not take into account 20% of his net weekly income.

This leaflet explains how CSa is calculated

OMG how unfair is that! It will be interesting to see if he put's it down as i think he will portray to live with his parents.

Surely if he does say he is living there and about her 2 children this would effect her WFTC claim if she makes one? And any child maintenance agreement she may have?

Have to say i really don't think that is fair it takes enough time and stress to make a father pay for their child let alone have money then deducted because he chooses to live with someone who has children.

It is very unfair , their joint claim for WTC is counted as an income and included in the assessment , so in a way what she takes from you , you take a little back from them .

Least when it comes to finances in the divorce his housing needs are met and your children of the marriage are the priority and not his gf's

I agree with you alideniz, how unfair this is! I have one child at home and one away at college - neither go to stay with their Dad at all. He pays as little as possible for one child and that is all. He takes very little interest in his own children and never helps them in other ways, financially or otherwise. However he is totally absorbed in 'her' five children and will payout/support them, attend school activities etc etc etc. My daughter asked him to put a small amount of money on her phone a few months ago, to which he replied 'I am skint ask your Mum'. It is so upsetting for them knowing that the other come first. I also know that 'she' claims that the fathers of her children refuse to pay maintenance and so my ex can claim he pays so much for them, leaving his own children high and dry. Why does this feel like the parent left at home with the children is made to struggle even more at the hands of the seemingly more important cheaters, liars and deceivers? If you ask me, when you have a partner that cheats on you, it feels like you are the one in the wrong all the way along the line.

Hi just wanted to make you aware that the CSA will only take tax credits into account as income if he owns up as receiving them otherwise they will not be included xx

WFTC is only added to the non resident parent's assessable income when the NRP earns more than their new partner.
