CS Agree what this should cover??

Ah, so she thinks the kids are on a pay to view basis? You don't pay she limits contact.

You need to deal with this sooner rather than later or you'll be open to blackmail for years.

To go back to the original question, child support is a contribution towards all the costs of raising children - food, clothes, toiletries, medicines, glasses, contact lenses, hair cuts, activities, school trips, housing, bills, wear and tear, damages, insurance, capital expenses (such as replacing equipment, furniture, bedding, decorating) transport, holidays etc etc. Apparently the way the courts used to assess child maintenance was simply to divide the parent with the majority of care's household living expenses by the number of people living in the household.

Yes I do agree and we are trying. Its hard to get my other half to document incidents as he'd rather not have to go through that. I dont blame him as its been a very emotional couple of years he's been but completely understand how important it is to do this.

Your all right nothing will change her and we need to be savvy and get all documented.

Thanks so much for all your advices lets hope it calms down a little when alls signed and sealed where the divorce and rights to the boys is concerned.

Can I just ask do the children stay over Fri/ sat,(every other weekend) and every tues and Wed night?. Night stays will impact any payments through the CSA.

You mentioned that you more or less have them 50/50, I work out you actually only have them 4 nights out of 14. Just a thought not sure how relevant this is to your question:unsure:

Hi all!!!

She is one lucky ex wife!!

I get my csa and that's it!!! My son has had 2 pencil cases that he has been allowed to bring "home"

My son missed out on two excursions last year as when I went to draw my csa the ex Hubby had failed to pay, upon speaking with the csa it would be up to 12 weeks before they could recover the money!! As one of the excursions was for 5 days and over £100 I was not in a position to borrow of mates given csa timescale of recovery!!

She should count herself as lucky, believe me the ex not paying the csa really buggered me up as I do use most of it for school dinner, childcare, sons football, clothing ect!!!
