A question about : CSA have no powers to collect money from Ex
Hi, I'm at my wits end and would like some suggestions on what to do next with trying to get money out of the father of my son, who is almost 13yrs. I have had a case with CSA for about 6yrs due to Ex never giving me money and all we would do was argue about money and him threaten me to cancel CSA or else. Ex has all post go back to his parents house even though he not lived there since 2002, never answer any of the letters from CSA, ignores phone calls or hangs up on them. He is self employed and lives with his girlfriend in her council flat for past 3yrs and is not registered living there or any where else. I have informed CSA of where he lives, works, what van he drives, his bank account details and mobile number however, since no response from Ex or has the CSA really done much with this info. Keeping getting they are trying to get a liability order but surprise surprise can't get hold of him. I don't think the CSA have done enough or really have the powers to do anything about my EX. He needs to go to court and I'm thinking of doing it privately, I work and hoping it's not too expensive so I can afford it. I currently have a restraining order against my Ex valid until March 2016 as he is violent towards me. Has very little involvement with our son, spends all this money on drugs and alcohol!!
Please help!!!!
Best answers:
- He was doing drugs and alcohol, when he was with you and before you both had the child.
Technically how are you going to serve a summons by post if you do not have a registered address for him?
As he is self employed then even if/when assessed do not expect much.
So you have to ask yourself, are you fighting for principle?
Some get there in the end, but your child maybe nearing the end of his education before you are succesful in your claim being honoured.
