Re: Child Support Agency 2003 scheme Child Maintenance new scheme for cases after 25th Nov 2013

Son is a partner in my family business, 3 partners in total. Last year his income was £29,000 gross. This year it will be about £13,000. Our trading year ends 31st March. He draws £1500 a month from his capital account, currently overdrawn by about £32,000. Taking more than he should.

So your son is paying £50pw on a private arrangement with Mum 2 and been assessed to pay £67pw to Mum3 ?
Sorry if I;m asking you to repeat yourself,,I need my 'ducks in a row'
Your son has a fulltime job? Can you give a rough guesstimate of his weekly wage after tax/NI please.

Yes, sees child 1 occasionally, as he is only 2 days younger than one of my other grandsons, at same school and in same classes.. Claim for child 1 now withdrawn by Mother. However, CSA included child 3 under 2003 rules. Yes Mother 3 has made a claim, CSA say he has to pay £67.00 a week. They have now assessed payment for one child only.

Hi...will check the legalities of all this later today but instinct is telling me that as different mothers are involved one arrangement won't offset against another,
Does your son see Child 1?
Has mother 3 made a claim via CSA? If so,,how much are they saying he has to pay?

I Know that they are his kids. No question he would not even consider disputing it. Just asking about my granddaughter being taken into account, under new rules,as this payment of £200 a month was not taken into account under 2003 rules. My son is really trying his best, but now going into arrears, as he cannot pay for his children unless they take the £200 a month into account.

Just wondering if anyone can help with query for son.

This post regards my son. He has 3 children, with 3 different mothers.

My sincere apologies for not spotting that this issue related to your son not you.

In which case I don't feel so bad in asking whether your son is certain that these three children are actually his? Has there been a DNA test in each case?

He has 3 children, with 3 different mothers. Child 1, mother has 3 children with 3 different fathers, withdrew her claim after son contacted csa and informed them that his son actually lived with grandparents and not mother, csa said that as she was claiming child allowance and tax credits, he still had to pay. Then she dropped her claim. Child 2 son has her for 2 nights every 2 weeks, school holidays, and other nights, but csa do not take her into account as this is a family arrangement. Child 3 newly born. Mother told son that she could not have children due to an operation that she had when she was 17. Then got pregnant. Son has not seen his child,and is unlikely to do so.

I'm not up to speed on the legalities here (Child Support legislation) but may I ask a quick question to set the scene? Do any of these three children which you fathered live with you? This may impact on all sorts of benefits and tax implications for both biological parents whether they currently live together or not.

Just wondering if anyone can help with query for son.
child no 1 registered under 2003 scheme
child no 2 born 2006 voluntary family agreement paying £200 a month as jointly agreed. Voluntary arrangements are not taken into account under 2003 rules, so this was not registered with CSA
child no 3 born 2013 CSA included under 2003 scheme, as they were already dealing with a case under this scheme.

Child no 2 now registered under new scheme, Child Maintenance after 25/11/2013
Child no 1 claim withdrawn by mother Dec 2013

Question is, as they now encourage family based arrangements under the new scheme, should the £200 a month be taken into account when calculating maintenance for child no 3? Or as they are different departments, do children on new scheme not count on assessments under 2003 regulations.

Help please.
