He will receive a variation on his contributions as he will be living in the same house as a dependant child - regardless of whether that child is his or his step-child. I cant recall the exact variation.

Would that be regardless of if that child is reciving CSA too - i seem to think its unfair my children well get a reduced amount when the step child is getting there CSA

Does that make sence?

Yes it would be regardless of whether the child's mother is receiving CM for him/her or not.

Is it possible to work out an amicable agreement for CM between you and your ex?

No sadly due to his GF we have had to go down the road of CSA, before she came on the sceane we were all amicalbly and running smoothly and sadly since she has come along the boat has rocked to much to almost capsizing

Apologies for poor spelling

We don't care much for correct spelling here - mine is often dreadful
