Child Support Agency overhaul needed for sake of children and non-resident parents

 

Responsible department: Department for Work and Pensions

The current legislation for the CSA doesn't allow for living costs of the non resident parent. I've argued this point many times over the phone with the CSA who are not interested in the devastating consequences this can have for the children or as in most cases, the father as a result of this shockingly awful government agency.

This agency needs a serious overhaul and needs to put children first. That means a fair assessment of the non-resident parents income to include living costs.

At the very least I would expect the government to make special allowances for low income earners, to include specifically ignoring any overtime worked, as in most cases overtime is needed to make ends meet anyway.

And the government needs to involve and get the ideas of non-resident parents in this overhaul, as they are the ones suffering with the way things are currently done.

You have already said on another thread that you are earning more than they know about & you hope they don't find out. Don't you want to pay towards your childrens up bringing? I expect you're in the minority there which explains the lack of signatures. People come on here most of the time to ask fair questions. Not to try & swindle the CSA/PWC.

No ones trying to swindle

 

It's the Child Support that are crooks in every way

 

How dare they not include living costs, don't us father need money to live

 

It's just a vicious circle:

 

Fathers have to pay a ridiculous amount

Fathers can't afford the payments

Father leaves job because he can't feed or live by himself

Father lives on Jobseekers

Father has to get a job or payments will stop

............ And so forth

Hmmm not always the case. My 2's dad has been paying 240 quid a month through CSA for both of them for the last 12 years, it's never changed, even though of course he has had pay rises in that time, has lived with someone that works full time the last 7 yrs, yet I am pretty sure it costs me more to bring them up than it did 12 years ago lol I spend at least 200 a month running a car to get them to school (sons disability means he has to be in a school out the area, & no I don't get disability payments for him...

CSA don't know about the extra hours you work, so I don't see how THEY can be swindling YOU.

They're being overhauled, they're being scrapped. The parent with care will have to pay for the service. So not a lot of point from what I hear.

[chrissy88]

Ok I've signed it

 

Congrats on getting over 100 signatures in only two weeks, your petition seem fair to me

[meandbex]

done.

 

Ive signed it as i split from my missus as she cheated on me. I love my kids, but i am being penalised for her actions. Where blame is on the femael party for a breakdown of a relationship, there should be a % reduction..............

[citizenB]

Done x 2

[somethingelseplease]

Brilliant,

 

I hope more will sign

 

Think it's said if the petition gets 100,000 signatures it will be forwarded to the House of Commons
