Things were to get ugly again though as in March 2007 I asked for a new assessment as my mortgage and council tax payments had increased. Again my payments were reduced and again my ex-wife threatened court proceedings and stopped me from seeing my children. It appears that a minority of mothers are only interested in the financial benefits of having and caring for children.
My advice to fathers paying maintenance through the CSA is this. When mortgage rates, pension contributions and council tax payments increase, ask for a reassessment. The CSA rulings state that if your circumstances change, you are entitled to be re-assessed.
I do not have any problem paying towards my children, but do object to paying for my ex-wife to have a life of luxury at my expense while my children go without.
