What is fair?

I have been separated from my wife for over two years. Unfortunately I have had a history of depression since my twenties and the divorce sent me into a deep depression which led to me giving up work and after a year starting my own company.

I have continued to pay my ex-wife, from my savings £365 a month based on the good income I was earning when working full-time. This is for my six year old son who has been diagnosed with Aspergers. However the new company has been slow to take off and my income during the last year has been negligible whilst prospects for next year are looking better. The CSA have said based on my income for the past year I would actually be assessed as having to pay nothing but I want to continue to pay something. Does anyone have an opinion as to my situation. I feel guilty about paying less for my son abut at the same time I need to save money where I can.

John.

What is important is the time you spend with your son and your continuing role as a parent.

If you cannot afford to pay so much, are you able to compensate by spending more time with him, having him to stay overnight more often, etc?
