The CSA penalise good fathers

Hello
Just been reading some of these comments and I am disgusted how some of you can write such things like single mums get of your backside and do some work!!!!!
I work fulltime and have do all my life, and yes im a single mum and why shouldnt the father pay towards the upbringing of their child!!!!
As a single mum I had to live on £123 a week and that was to pay the bills, feed my son, and all the other expenses that come with a baby! And the father dodged CSA so when I do finally start getting money from him, he can moan as much as he likes about not having anything to live on as ive been there and done that.
So next time you write your comments about single mums have a good long think about what you put as many like myself will be offended about your comments.

My husband loves all of his three children equally. Because of the CSA our two little ones are living in poverty. My husband is suicidal and on anti-depresants and is still working full time with heavy machinery which can not be safe . For the past two years I have been unable to work due to slipped disks and a double prolapse, but for the six years previous to that, had been the main wage earner in our marraige. We now can't afford to live in our own house and moved out, three years ago. It has been on the market now for 3 years and is now in negative equity. We now live in a very basic two bedroomed basement flat, with mice and very dodgy wireing. We realised last year that we have over paid the CSA. After waiting 12 months, and submitting paperwork we have heard nothing from them, so stopped the payments. That was three weeks ago. Since then, Jacks mum who has since married , has a new brand new car every year, four holidays abroad a year and a hair do every week has now told my husband and our two little children that Jack no longer want's to speak to them !! Where is the justice in this!!! His ex wife is 42 and has only ever worked for three months in her whole entire life whist my husband and I have worked since the age of 16. And whilst my husband has achieved all of his vocational qualifications, I have a degree and a MSc in Business Management that I can't presently use, that I got whilst working full time. The thing is that Jack is the one who is missing out the most and the UKCSA needs to look after the childrens welfare in the long term. Not the parent in care with a grudge!!!

if I got me a wealthy scam,
I wouldn't have to work at all,
Just fool around and have a ball,
Money money money, it's a womans world.

you single mums need to get off your holes and stop relying on handouts

I have paid £450/month for my children since their birth
their mum does not even feed or clothe them adequately
but the csa dont care
as long as they get the money off me
the csa are a disgrace
they do not care about the children

the csa have no intrest in the welfare of the children
all they want is the money
they are a total disgrace

I'm still chasing a claim for both my children that I made roughly 5 years ago. For the last 2 years my ex husband has ignored phone calls and letters from the csa. The last time he spoke to them he told them he had shared care so that he didn't have to pay anything. This is a lie, he has never had shared care and the csa says because he wont speak to them now there is nothing they can do. Ive pointed out that we live at opposite ends of the country so there is no way that he could have shared care but they still say until he confirms what I'm saying they cant do anything!

Shoot me if i'm wrong but I'm pretty certain if a childs been adopted by a step parent the biological parent is no longer liable to pay maintenance. Might be worth looking in to.

The csa and girlpower will look after a bad woman, but I have made it backfire on nearly all involved, I bet they are all regretting the bullying going to far on me now, but it is to late, damadge is done, my turn to laugh now.

the csa im sure do things illegally,my partner has just been assesed ,he works full time and brings up my 2 girls,we have a mortgage.he has 3 sons,the 13 yr old and 15yr old he has shared care with the mother.the other son is 10,the mother refuses to let him see the child,but demands csa,and when they were living together he still paid the mortgage when they split up ,she sold the house kept 45 grand and gave my partner 500 pound ...its a joke!! she sent a letter from the solicitor saying she wanted her new husband to adopt the child but my partner ignored the letter!!! she works and claims her husband is on a wage of 450 a week bring home!!we are being penalised,the boys surname has changed to her married name,we dont even know if the childs been adopted?anyway my partner pays 200 a month,we are struggling with our mortgage and my partner has had a letter stating csa wants 8oo pound within 7 days!!! me my partner and my girls are going to end up homeless ,i think csa should work things out differently and should take into consideration the good dads ,bringing up step kids before they asses a case ,they just dont care if you have enough money to live on ...plus my childrens father hasnt paid csa for 10 years and just dodges the csa..its all a fookin joke !!

My partner is having to pay 30% of his wages for one child who we have on a very regular basis. She is sent to us at weekends and school holidays by her mum with nothing but the clothes she is wearing. We have brought bedroom furniture, toys and clothing and shoes for her and continue to do so. She is also sent to stay with her grandparents for sleep overs and school holidays. The amount of time she spends at home with her mum is becoming less and less yet my partner still has to pay an unaffordable amount of money to her on the csa's say so.
I have 2 children from a previous marriage and made a claim with the csa in 2004, ive never received any payment still after 6 years and numerous phone calls, they know where my ex partner is and have all his information yet they have done nothing to make sure he pays! why is this happening to so many people.

You poor poor people - I empathise with you entirely and that's truly sad. My partner has two children from previous relationships. His daughters mother 'ran away' with her 6 years ago (when she was 6) and he hasn't the faintest idea where they are (despite several attempts to try to find the daughter he loves dearly). His son lives more closely and we see him often and help out financially as much as we can. The CSA have been plucking figures from the sky for the last god knows how long - despite my partner sending them accounts/bank statements, etc. He has been struggling to make a living for the last 4 years and I have had no financial help from him whatsoever and pay all the rent/bills from my own salary (barely) as he simply can't afford to give me anything. Yesterday, we received the CSA's latest kick in the teeth - they want £5000 in 7 days or they will take him to prison!!!!! How the **** are we supposed to get out of this?!?
