applied to csa again!

[surprisebaby]

My fob has never paid anything towards his daughter. She is now just over 2 years old. He has just graduated from university so I am presuming he either now is working or he is on benefits, so I decided to call the CSA to get them to reassess him. They sent a letter out to him on Monday (his family's home address) so he probably received it today! It just asks him what is his situation i.e is he a continuing student, does he have a job etc and he has to get back to them by the 3rd of July. I really hope he is now working so that I can finally get some payment from him. He didn't want anything to do with me when he found out I was pregnant and didn't want anything to do with our child, so it would be fantastic if now he is forced to take financial responsibility. Fingers crossed they work it out that he is due me money instead of the nil assessment last time.

Good luck to anyone who is trying to chase the fathers for maintenance!!

Sounds promising! If it comes back as nil assessment wait a couple of months and reassess. Me and my OH are uni students and our term hasn't technically ended! So he might not claim benefits for a couple months x

What is the date that your term officially ends? I wonder if it is different for final year students? Just have to wait and see what the CSA say. Actually the CSA did a quick benefit check on Monday and he wasn't down as claiming any benefits, but that is maybe because it is too early to claim. Well just have to wait and see and yeah will try and get them to assess in three months just to check on the situation. Thanks!

I think it's 8th July! Final year students are usually counted as financed until either July or August so don't lose hope! You'll get a decent chunk of his salary. I'm entitled to IS in the summer but only from 30th June, might be same for him x x

I'm trying to get maintenance off my FOB. Tried the route of asking him first and all I got was a sob story about how he earns very little, survives on virtually nothing etc etc, has no money and that he might kill himself. nice.

Will jut have to contact CSA in a few months and see if anything has changed. I don't see why these FOB's should get away with not paying for their kids.

Hope you get better luck than me! Fob in my case quit working when he found out I called CSA, just keep getting them to reassess every few months would be my advice!!
