To claim or not to claim... Any thoughts

Hi,
The CSA were already involved. When my son was resident with his Mother they were invloved at my request. This was because even though I was paying support my ex would frequently claim I was not to the benefits agencies. THis is turn resulted in the CSA contacting me and a whole lot of chasing around on my part to prove payment.
Whilst the change in residence was going on I kept them informed of the situation as it had a direct impact on what I should pay and where the payments should go.
Once the court case concluded I was told the CSA would be informed directly of the verdict so left the matter alone.
The CSA had apparently made a note in their case details to follow up with me to check on the verdict within 12 months as they did not recieve the information on the verdict direct from the solicitors as expected.
When they followed up and I was able to prove the court decision in my favour, the CSA then continued the case looking at what I was revieving from my ex as she was now the NRP. (This was something she agreed to).
From a personal side I would be a little careful about taking reference from programs such as Judge Judy for a few reasons, not least of which US law is very different to UK law, although in this case I fully understand your point and thank you for the feedback
. (I would just hate you to get caught out in the future basing an assumption on the wrong legal example).
Kind Regards
Dave
