I just can''t understand in my case why the CSA blanked the fact that I have paid on time for 14 months, a Private Family Agreement that my ex and I had set up ? She went to the CSA because our son is soon to turn 18 and due to leave school in June, she wanted every last payment guaranteed up until September.
So they have to deal with me, treat me like a criminal even though I have stuck to the Private Agreement. It angers me when I read that the CSA are encouraging Private Family Agreements, because clearly they are not ?

It will be very difficult to reach a private arrangement when your ex refuses all contact!! (unless I use telepathy!!)

And according to the CSA if a NRP is director of their own ltd company, they cannot obtain tax details from HMRC. This is, as they explained to me, because ex will basically pay his own wage. He is not classed as self employed and this makes a difference.

Coming up to 2 years now since my ex gave me anything for our son.

Taking ex to court now for Consent Order after divorce, (and having to self rep) so a lot will come out on the form E (or not.....don''t think ex is capable of telling the truth anymore...)

Ho hum, better put on my armour, it''s gonna be a battle :(

Hi Brit,

The new rules have not come in yet, and the old system is not so encouraging for family based arrangements (I think this is one of the reasons they are changing).

With the current system it does not matter what has or has not been paid previously to the claim, you are liable to pay the CSA from the date the claim was put in, I dont think they care a whole lot about anything else, and (in my experience) tend to treat the NRP as resistant unless they do something wrong & all of a sudden appologise a whole lot. lol.

But so long as you pay in full and on time they will leave you alone unless the Ex asks them to re-evaluate, but that just means they will ask for your payslips etc. again.

Hi Perin

Is this on the current system or new system? I would have thought on the current system that if he is classed as employed they would be able to approach his employer (i.e. his complany) who has to give copies of his last 2 pay slips, and base the claim on that?

If the company is a ltd. complany he cannot touch the money for personal living etc. so he must be paying himself something?

Current system I presume as this has been going on for two years!!!

The ltd company is basically my ex and his new wife, so it doesn''t take a genius to work out that because they pay themselves, it will be minimal, and the rest will come out through the company, all above board and legal apparently. They can take money out in dividends which aren''t taken into account.

Hopefully all will be revealed when I take ex to court through his Form E!
