My ex has just bought his 6th BRAND NEW car in three years and I am talking BMW's at £30k plus here, yet the CSA can't do anything. They say that they will only asses on income. My ex sold the marital home at a huge profit and won loads of money on the lottery. He has not bought another house, he rents from a housing association, but he has bought 2 static caravans, sold one and the other is kept on a holiday site. We separated 7 years ago and have four children. I have supported the kids ever since. The divorce settlement was that he got the house and I got 50% of the cashed in endowment policy - a grand total of £1200. The divorce settlemnet gave me "liberty to appeal" but a solictor has told me that it is up to me to provide the court with proof that he has this money. Without being able to access his bank accounts etc. how can I do this? Any suggestions will be welcomed.

TAKE the photos -- take the information from searching Property Records (and remember to have a photo of him entering these places), pull up the record of Lotto Winners for the time period you suspect he got proceeds and look for the name (and this is a matter of public record), etc etc etc.
PHOTOS are worth a THOUSAND words -- so photos of him in the cars, photos of EACH of the cars, his License Plate Number (Write it down! and take the PHOTO of the Plate), Photo of where he lives, and what he is wearing -- all this is good evidence without ever accessing his bank account -- and when you can show a Lawyer all these Expensive toys and things -- then that is PROOF that he has access to more money than he is admitting to in Child Support Enforcement Activity.

Somethings just not adding up how is he hiding all of these assets also hows he renting from a housing agency when that is for LOW income only and they can and will find out what assets he has whether he has them hidden or not,I don't understand CSA refuses to help you and you have 4 children thats also a government based agancy and they should be able to find all of his asstes as well so why are they latting the children suffer I think its about time you as to speak with some of the higher ups at CSA even though they do not represent you,they are supposed to both issue and enforce court ordered child support . Morally your ex is wrong but if he can afford to buy 3 or 6 brand new cars then he needs to support his 4 children plain and simple.

I think Aussie laws are more similar to the UK than the US. My ex makes a squillion and has no contact with the children due to his violent ways. I kept hounding the CSA and they awarded me over a thousand dollars a month in child support. He never paid and then due to him having so much money, took me to Court. The wonderful legal system then allowed him to pay the equivalent of 10 dollars per week per child, end of subject.
Unless you have the money to fight him legally (which is heaps), I'd give up and just accept that he is a dog. Keep on thru CSA and maybe one day they will see sense. Good luck

Your husband will still have to pay - through the CSA - 15% of his wages to his ex for his son, if he plans on still giving £40 a week and its acceptable by his ex then this wont change. The fact that you are having a baby wont change a thing and neither will having your daughter live there. If she gets maintenance from her dad then it has nothing to do with your current partner paying for his son, the amount will not change.

Gather proof of what you say and refile in family court! If you can show the new cars and other stuff was purchased by your x then the family court should rule in your favor! Check with a family court attorney. Hire a GOOD PI and you may get suprised on other stuff he's been spending too!

what country do you live in ? sounds like the u.k. Boy you women really get screwed in divorce settlements over there dont you? Your solicitor should have made a pre arrangement that if he made any more money then you should be entitled to more money. I cannot believe this . Now see if you lived in the states you would be entitled to so much more and you attorney could have arranged any future moenies gained you would have gotten. Boy remind me never to move to the u.k. Good Luck and god bless.

There are Women's groups everywhere that have your answers, go to womensplace.org your children are being cheated, call your government representative and Do Not take no for an answer! Start your own support group, there must be many more women in your situation, do a google search for mothers groups.

My wife just went through the same situation. she was separated for 9 years and he never made contact with his children. He aslo came into money and she also had to prove it. What she did was, she got one of her girlfriends to get to know him personally, became involved with him and through her friend my wife was able to prove his assests along with account info. It worked for her maybe you can try it too.

Get a hungry solicitor and show him picture of the various toys your husband has money for. I'm sure the smell of money will motivate him.
