stressed me out a lot while I was going through courts for child arrangements. after my marriage ended, her family started pestering me for money, asking for back-dated amounts. I ended up opening a CMS case for myself. Your advice is that is very understandable. What I am sick of though is having an agreement and now being rattled for more. I am not opposed to paying for my children and my now wife and I treat them no different to our own they get the expensive trainers, x-box x, live and game pass stuff etc. my ex raises a case what do I do then? continue to pay as I have done now whilst what ever process runs out or stop paying etc. I am sick of being bullied and in a no win situation.Īssuming I am contacted by the CSA i.e. To be honest the whole thing has brought me into such a dark place over the last years that I am at the point of just saying go to the CSA. greater or similarly be given a credit for overpaying?īasically I have paid an agreed sum for years and years but now that I am doing better for myself my ex now wants more money and is threatening that if I don't give in to her demands then she will contact CSA. Question: Irrespective of whether the amount I pay is greater or lesser than what the "calculator" says and given I can evidence the payment to my ex wife in the form of the ref against monies who I be asked to pay an arrears for what I could of paid based on earnings i.e. A figure that was agreed and slowly gone up to this figure. This not based on my income or the calculator. Now the agreement I have been paying is currently at £480 per month. Having recently moved house a little closer to my ex it all flamed up again. Me and my now wife see them every other weekend where they join our family of 4 girls so 6 in total. In addition I picked up what were jointly named debts and continued to pay them. I hit bad times professionally there after and there were times where I was out of work and continued to pay this over the course of the last 10years. I know it matters little but my wife left me for another chap. In the early part of this I paid too much and I reduced it. Now I separated from my then wife Oct 2012 We had an agreement and I paid a set figure. Appreciate I wont find answers here but may find advice and some empathy.
