CSA - Shared Care

[AB1795]

My case detail has been changing a lot recently, further dependants/shared care, income all have meant changes, so its been very unstable and no consistency over monthly payments.

 

Shared Care has proved the most problematic though. I have a contact order at great expense to me as my ex was stopping me from seeing my son. She knew that restricting my access would keep me below the 104 nights a year. I am sending evidence into the CSA to prove via timetable of care/court orders and other evidence that it is beyond 104 nights a year, she still disputes this!! How do the CSA decide whose evidence is right/better/more substantial ??

 

Why also does it take them 6-8 weeks to decide when they can istantly decide to deduct money from you as a NRP.

 

So frustrated, please help ??

I'm sorry but I don't know. Hopefully a copy of the Court Order will help you prove your case. Good luck

You would think a court order would be enough evidence but sometimes it is not because the RP can lie and say that it is not being adhered to , keep a diary of all the times your son stays with you, also take lots of family photos that are dated so if she does this then you can send them proof.
