Hi,

Can anyone advise me please?

My ex is about to move to another part of the country and will at some point change jobs. He isn't going to tell the CSA, so can I go to court and get the maintenance clause added so I can get insurance?
This may help me get a mortgage later on.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

Ochre

nothing stopping you telling the CSA when he does and asking for a reassessment. He will have to send in payslips so they will know where he is working and how much he earns.

I wish it was that simple!

He evaded the CSA for 2 years by lying, cheating and refusing to supply information leaving it to me to 'prove' he had income. They didn't follow anything up until I got pay slips from his earnings.

I don't want another 2 year wait if my mortgage depends on it!

Anyone got it written into a court agreement?

Is he already paying via CSA?

If he is then it is now a legal requirement to tell them of a change of address within 7 days.

Court do not have jurisdiction if CSA are involved so you would probably have to close CSA case before you could ask for a court order although I'm not certain on that.

Hmmm... that's interetsing. Trouble is the CSA don't chase anything unless you make waves. I have had to ask my MP to get involved if anything changes (twice).

Courts normally have no jurisdiction to impose an order for child maintenance or a variation so child maintenance can only be included as part of the overall divorce settlement by [b]agreement[/b] . exceptions are when there are step children, one parent lives abroad or over 18s in education.

Many thanks Fiona. That means there is no point in involving the court again. You have saved me many a happy hour of letter writing!
