just got a letter off csa informing me i have to pay 340.00 pound a month for my two kids,argued that i couldnt afford that much so they droped it to 240.00 a month,i have never not provided for my kids since i have been back in work i have bought them anything they needed i have them at weekends and any time i can.so please tell me why my ex wife who has got her own business fiddles the books earns in a fortnight what i can only hope to earn in a month can get away with it,and yet can get full rent paid,full council tax paid,working tax credit and child tax credit.yet they dont take into acount my council tax my rent and other living costs.this system stinks and needs a rethink. y They are your kids, presumably you wanted them so pay up and be happy. If not, why should I as a pensioner pay the rest for you? They are not my kids, they are yours and your wife's (or partner whatever it is called these days, living over the brush in mine)nobody else's responsibility. If you didn't want to pay for them, perhaps you should have kept something in your trousers all those years ago. EXACTLY,well said

Works both ways though eddie64, you could have a partner earning thousands and her income wouldn't be taken into account when calculating the amount of maintenance you pay.

Do you mean no reply?
It is a shame that you weakened you argument by calling those who present an alternative viewpoint "fools".

I was actually trying to be supportive towards you but it is a fact that in any discussion a person who resorts to personal insults weakens their case. Whether I have children or not is of no concern to you at all.

I'm sure you do your best for your children, but I'm one of those who doesn't want to have to support them if you can't.

You don't have to "deal" with anyone. Once you start a topic on a public forum, you must expect comments. You're clearly an angry person and as such I cba to engage with you further. I'm inclined to believe that others feel the same.

the whole system does need a total rethink,i get what eddie64 was originally trying to say.they tried to put an attachment on my earnings using details from over ten years ago!the things they don't take into account (basic living costs)is plain stupid and the rules at the moment give the mother all the power which is not always the best.

 From what I hear and read, the CSA hasn't got a clue and issues some crazy demands. Needs a complete re-think, as you say.
