I hope you're luckier than me. This happened to me 6 months ago, I've seen no money off him since. CSA say there is nothing they can do till he gets another job.

Hopefully yes since if you were still together then he would still provide. Let's hope he has some savings. But bear a thought to cut him some slack it is a hard enough time when your made redundant. Try and talk to him, say something is better than nothing..And maybe he can make it up to YOUR KIDS... not just MY maintenance payments. But overall he only has to pay you 5GBP so be polite to him and it should work out...

… and it's finally come to this in the 21st century!
The fact you have made this so blunt and so poignant tells me a lot right off the bat; you have a husband that actually agreed to pay alimony (i wouldn't have under any circumstances). Here's a newsflash…20% of zero is zero. As long as he remains unemployed, he cannot pay you a dime. In addition, if he happens to file bankruptcy, alimony can be dissolved in a court agreement. Only child support and indigency payments cannot be absolved via a court ruling.
Another issue regarding redundant is your marital status. If you are either remarried or engaged to be married, he is no longer required to pay alimony. In addition, if anytime during the post-marriage you happen to carry a higher financial status (ie, inheritance, pay increase, etc), you may be required to issue him a check for the balance difference. If he files bankruptcy, based on the original alimony issue, if you are pulling more financially, be prepared to at miniumum dispose of some of his debt. You may end up paying his bills.
Just a thought, dispose of the alimony agreement now, because no judge in his right mind should ever have issued it. There is no provision for soccer moms that they should get paid for forgoing career and education…
If you have children, the state will handle any back child support; but you aren't asking for child support, you're asking for alimony. If you are using child support payments for "maintenance", you are in violation of the original court order as well as most state laws.
I wish you luck collecting any back checks, but seriously, you should have disposed of the alimony agreement on your own a long time ago.

No way. Same as if you two were still living together and he became redundant -- no income for him means no income for you either. Start managing the kiddies' christmas present expections now.

What are the payments for?
CSA(ie children) or a private arrangement?

Where do you think he will get the money to pay you?You can't get blood from a stone.Until he gets another job you will have to go without.If the p/ments were high,he might be better off unemployed.

As majority of others have said if he is not earning then he can't pay you....That is just common sense..!!
