maintenance NOT through CSA?

[purpledahlia]

what did the letter say? When do they backdate from? I was under the impression they dont backdate when the child was born but they do from when the CSA and the FOB agree on paternity, or DNA confirms it?

They backdate it fom the day CSA contact FOB whether thats via phone or letter, It doesnt matter if FOB doesn't contact CSA until 4 weeks (example!) after CSA sent the letter they will still back date it from the day they sent the letter to FOB!

Whether he got it or not!

oh and the letter just said you need to play "x amount (normal pay) + x amount (over due)" if you do not contact CSA you wiill be fined £1000.

That is reasonable!!
My OH should only be paying about £40 a week to his ex, but as he had the DNA test (even tho he was 95% sure he was the dad) he had some back payments to make and so he pays £50 a week, thinking about it, his back payment is a hell of a lot for a month or two :S

But anyway, if she doesn't agree without going through CSA, then you OH will pay £5 a week/fortnight if he is claiming beneifts while out of work, so don't think they will put a back payment on it, and you could still make it up to the £40 a week.
Tho id keep evidence of you paying her money so that she can't claim that he hasn't paid a penny towards the child.


Just to point out, iv only read first post, not the whole thread, that's just basicly what we was told when OH's EX put in for CSA.

Just so you know, they do not backdate money anymore.

They definitely do because I've just had £120 arrears.
