Hi

can anyone explain to me which Act/Law applies to the responsibility of the non-resident parent to financially support their child, for the period of time post separation but prior to a CSA application ?

Is it possible to apply retrospectively for a lump sum for child maintenance under this act, through the courts ?

If this process comes under the Ancillary Relief umbrella, is it covered by the same 'needs and ability to pay' as spousal maintenance is ?

many thanks

Hi there

There isnt one - applications for any form of maintenance only go as far back as the date of the application.
