But..... He is willing to pay, He just thinks their assessment is wrong, and so does his accountant.
Last June he got a letter off csa asking for details of income and circumstances, he passed the forms onto his accountant (hes self employed) appox 6wks later a 8 page letter arrived their decision being that he should pay £54 a week and back pay of £2340.00 to be paid within 7 days. The figures on the form of his income, outgoings and spare money etc didnt make sense, they said we have £350. a week spare after paying all the bills!!!!! I wish...... letter sent to them at the end of August requesting details of how they have arrived at their figures.
Got no reply, then at start of dec, my husband got another letter off them saying they would be applying to the court for a liability order!!! So accountant wrote them a very stern letter to which someone phoned him to apologise and said she would get back to him....
waited and waited, then He got a summons to go to court this thurs

He didnt pay the £54 a week because we havnt got it as the business is going through a bad patch at the mo, so the ex will have to get in the queue with the taxman, vat man.

The only way is to take the CSA to court and argue your case as you intend to do. For some inexplicable reason, that organisation is staffed by the most incompetent people on Earth. For all that matters you could be dealing with martians. Letters to that place just get thrown in the bin. And nobody there seems to know anything.

Don't panic and don't get angry, be calm and confident, have your accountant write a letter detailing what he has done on your behalf, letters, phone calls etc. Submit this to the judge. Plead confusion over whole situation. Reaffirm to the judge that you are regularly paying the amount of £54 a week and are happy to support your children etc. But that you cannot pay £2340 at a weeks notice and that you have been waiting for clarification of this amount from the CSA for over 6 months.
At the end of the day the Judge cannot make you hand over money you do not have and as long as you show willing to pay off this debt at say £10 a week they will accept it.
Good Luck!

basically he's tried to get away with not paying by the sounds of it, 2 kids means 25% of net earnings after any pension contributions are taken out. He's doing well to only have to pay £54 a week.
The bills have nothing to do with anything, and are not taken into account.
The fact the figures on the form make no sense is down to the accountant your husband employees, maybe time for a change there as well.
I'm afraid you get no sympathy from me, go to court by all means, but pay your dues

I am sorry that you are in this situation, but I think that £27 per child per week is pittance he fathered those two children if he doesn't want to pay for them he should have used protection. I have 3 children and I know that £27 is not a lot as children at their ages are eating as much as an adult and that's not counting clothing, outings, pocket money or something they might need for school. Would you expect to get a lot for £27 for children their ages!
I'm sorry but you don't get any sympathy from me, if he has children he should be paying for them and I think he still isn't paying enough.
My children are 16, 14,&13.

Check the court date is still the same as the CSA are on strike today and was told everything will be delayed a few days, good luck with CSA, the only take the agreed amount plus £5.00 to arrears - to some guy in Ireland(Secretary Of State)

Want to know how to get your ex back? Change yourself. Don't worry about changing other people, worry about changing yourself. Go to https://tr.im/MFiNQ
Once you do that then you can start to worry about getting back together with your ex, other wise you will find that you are fighting about all the same things and getting no where. Do what it takes and I promise things will work out in your favor.
The funny thing is I came to the realization that I had to change a little too late. After I was kicked out and after I was about to lose the only things that truly mattered to me - her love. A funny thing happens when we truly love someone and lose them. We do what ever it takes to get them back. For me I had to drop bad habits that had caused not only our relationship to sour but practically every other relationship I had had in the past. Not only with women, but with friends, co-workers, family, you name it.
Which is why I say to you as my ex at the time said to me, the only thing you can do is change yourself. Work on yourself and improve on the person that you already are. Drop the negative things in your life that don't belong there and you will see all of your relationships start to take off to new heights.

As for your home expenses they don't count for child support. It's 15% of after tax income for 1 child and 20% for 2.
Even if he was in dispute over the amount does that mean his finances mean more to him than his children. I don't agree with his ex stopping any visits with them but he's not exactly showing that he really cares about his children more than himself.
My ex pays me what i would need on top of my income to keep our children in the life they were used to before our divorce, not because he has to but because he loves his children and didn't want them to suffer as a result of our breakup.

Why dont men pay for their kids!!!!
He could have continued to pay for HIS children and then claimed and the CSA would have asked for the money back if they found he had over paid...this happened to me and I had to pay the CSA back after they had given my ex-husband 900.00 back!!!!!!! Disgusts me
Just wanna add before I get ripped apart my child sees dad all the time and I never ask him for a penny!

the kids r more important than the tax man etc..... he had them with his ex... he has to pay no matter if he sees them or not. i am in the same situ with my ex. spent 20 yrs of my life being beaten to a pulp and worked full time to support them and "his money was his money..." so now the csa r sorting it for me. i am sure the csa have worked out all the financial side of his life and have made out a suitable payment from that.
the accountant works FOR HIM... so he should be telling the accountant to pay.. not waiting for the accountant to write to the csa and make his decisions for him. this just takes more time and means the kids have no money during this delay.
i really cant understand ex's who wont pay toward their kids... they dont deserve the love these kids have for them. i hope the kids keep this in their head when they are adults and know to treat him with the disdain he so deserves for not helping in their upbringing.

the poor man i know the problem you are going through my partner has the same problems and has never been able to see his children
looking back over this 7 hours later it looks to me that one of those sad women who deprive there children from seeing there dads as anyone showing compassion has got thumbs down if you ever knew what these men go through you would understand what is going on here and show more compassion
