petitions against CSA. any worked?

Has any Petition against the csa gained enough votes to be discussed in ''feather my own nest land''..... sorry, I mean parliament?

I have looked at a few petitons on different websites but for all us NRP''s(Dads) there seems to be very few signatures.

I for one want the ratio that is calculated to discount the maintenance re-assessed. I have asked this a few times... How come my discount for looking after my children is 1/7 for every night they are with me and not the difference in nights that each of us looks after the kids each week(eg: I look after the kids 3 nights per week, that leaves my ex looking after them 4 nights per week. I pay for their clothes/meals/heating/treats when they are with me. Therefore, the difference in nights is only one night, so I should be paying for one night''s maintenance and not 4).
Someone explain to me why I am not correct in this.
So, I want to petition the ''far removed from reality'' fatcats at Parliament to look into this totally unfair, biased against NRP''s, CSA calculation and fix it.

Rant over... for this morning

Agree a system that ignores the income of one party does seem unfair but I would hate to return to the previous means tested system.

I have often written on here a fairer system would be that both parties would have to put a % into an imagery pot and that amount is shared in the proportion of nights.

Too many nrp forget that cm is only a contribution towards additional costs not to cover all living costs.

If the wife decides to have an affair and then setup house with this new person, i don''t care about ''all living costs''. I only care that I provide for my kids, not my kids+ex+her new boyfriend.

I agree with you that it seems unfair but it worries me that maintenance worked out this way makes it too beneficial for the RP to deny the NRP contact. My husband had his contact with my step-daughter reduced for this reason a year ago; as we would have had her stay with us more than the threshold, she now stays ever other weekend, and his ex even tried to reduce that in court (no reason given, she didnt give a reason for anything, - barmy).

Anyway, my point is that if the maintenance for us were worked out this way I know for a fact she would find all sorts of reasons to reduce contact further simply because it means she would have more money. (Sad I know) We personally would prefer to stick with the unfair system if it means she is less likely to cause issues with contact.
