There are certainly people that know more but I think what the csa is trying to do is get non-custodial parent to pay the other parent directly.
I believe they are introducing fees to collect the money and pay it to the other person which lowers the amount received.
Apart from that not much. I always figure that paying the other person directly is the best option if it's possible. |

"google the gov.uk website,it has very clear explanations and help for the new arrangements on it"
..most importantly it explains that as it will take a while to change, you will get a letter re. any changes at least 6 months beforehand so you have plenty of time to ask any questions.

i think you need to talk to someone directly at citizens advice,though it sounds rather odd that anyone would pay someone they dont know anything for 16 years. |

If you have been paying for a child you don't think is yours you can ask for a DNA test to prove it one way or another, this has always been the case.
If you accept paternity or maternity you have to pay whilst that child reaches adulthood or in education. |

"What if he/she ignores the letter?"
Ignoring csa letters can lead to your ni number being traced and your wages being garnished to pay for any outstanding amounts. |

"Got the letter. .had the test years ago .it's mine .but had no contact what so ever.
"
You really have very little option but to pay unless you want it taken through your wages or end up in court for non payment |

Maybe you should seek advise from a qualified person rather that on a swinging site..is it by your choice the no contact thing |

"But I have received a closing date of case.and my finAl payment date.so I think it will all end at that date?"
Then phone the csa and ask. They are the only ones who will be able to tell you the end date for payments |

ask whoever sent the letter! if the letter says thats your final payment then i dont see what your problem is.

Is there not a phone number on the letter ? Best to phone them and check. I do believe the child's mother has to contact you directly or ask the new company to get money from you on her behalf and she pays for this service. But I would contact CSA directly to check what happens now. |

This a real can of worms. The csa fundamentaly was a good solution but they had very little powers really.. single parents will never be happy, what ever new system comes along... as far as I'm concerned the estranged partner should pay their way, or is that to simple |

If the child is yours then as a responsible parent you make arrangements to pay for your child/ren. I have never been through the csa and have always had an arrangement with my ex and I pay direct to her.
It works for us and I know the money goes on him and is for him so happy days |

If that works for you then it's fine and good luck to you... Unfortunately it's not so simple for a lot of folks... As good as the csa were ment to be, they've wrecked an awful lot of folks.
Being so black and white, they have no leeway at all and that's where the problems are |

My ex wife took me to the csa years ago when my 2 eldest boys were young and the csa wrote to me and I quote " we think your ex wife owes you not the other way round no payment is due. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised. However she did get everything the kids the dog the house the car and left me homeless.
Yes I do know what the csa can do to folks I have seen friends go through hell that'd why I set up a private arrangement to stop that from happening |
