Maintenence, how much does he give you?

taperjeangirl · May 29th, 2009, 16:58 PM

I am newly a single mum

Still in shock but need to try and get things sorted for my girls sake.

I was just wondering how much does your ex pay you for your LO? And does it all go through the newly formed CSA or do you sort it out between yourselves?

I know it will al depend on what he is earing but how much would the government take from him if I were to do it that way?

Sorry for all the questions xxx

Hi Hun my ex gives me £30 a week. Not through CSA though as they dont give you full amount!!
Not alot I know but he is very tight like that but he does have him fri to sun so maybe i shouldnt complain.....hope this helps....x

Thank you! So is he giving you £30 because he doesnt earn alot or is it because he is tight?!

Bexy, that doesnt seem like an awful lot he gives you especially when he earns that much a year, is it done through CSA? Did you agree to it or did he tell you that was how much he was giving you?

Are you sure? After tax? He said he worked it out on the online CSA calculator. He pays through private agreement

AppleBlossom · May 29th, 2009, 18:24 PM

Also the CSA prefer to not get involved so I would do it privately unless you really have to go through them

I didnt realise there was a csa calculator! Bexy he should be paying you about £70ish a week on his earnings xxx
