The thing is she's away visiting family and she's accusing me of all sorts because I took him out to a karaoke last night. Was I in the wrong or is she just paranoid? http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a886.asp I had a bad month recently and missed a payment, so now the CSA have taken £350 off me today and will take another £350 off me in August leaving me £14 to live on for the month after paying my rent. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a883.asp Does anyone know if my previous overpayments can be counted? My ex wife wants a share of my recent bonus, even though according to the CSA I have been paying more than I should have been. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a880.asp If I have my baby daughter half of the time (yes, 50 percent of the time), so can somebody please tell me why I have to pay maintenance to my ex? I still have to buy all the same baby stuff she does. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a865.asp Having fought for a long time too see my daughter but been denied access by my ex, I have recently received a letter requesting a paternity test and also now have an attachment of earnings. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a842.asp I have been Divorced for a couple of years now after my ex wife decided she wanted to be alone, start a new life and be totally independent (actually she was cheating with my best friend!!). http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a810.asp My ex-husband was hiding my post from me for almost 12 months and only passing on the correspondence I would normally be expecting, ie bills, wage slips and my own personal bank account statements. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a807.asp I split up with my ex-partner, the father to my two sons around 3 years ago because he was a lazy slob and wouldn't pull his weight. He only sees the kids when he feels like it and refuses to pay any maintenance.maintenance. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a800.asp I received a call from CSA today saying my partner had asked them to contact me for child support payments.
