I received 7 online letters from CSA yesterday. It seems the new systems starts soon. They were advising me of this and how it works. I can't make heads or tails of how they work out payments.
I do know that my Ex is going to have to pay around $100 per week. I even think this may be extreme. I know he has not supported me at all over the years and is just plain nasty and not caring of the kids emotionally. He still has to live. I believe he recieves around $600 in hand each week. That is to support our son and him. If I round rent to $200 week , that leaves him $300 for food, petrol and expenses.
Now I know I have been living on air and still am in comparison with 3 children to support but I don't know how that amount helps him or me really. I will have to pay more rent ( public housing) and will receive less in benefits ( that is ok if I recieve a payment on time ) I am not sure if I will actually receive anything extra after this.
My feelings for my EX aside..I am not sure of this new system at all. If I had to pay that much it would be difficult. I will have to start paying soon to him as well.
I just don't know at all how I feel about this but I can't change it.

lil harry don`t feel too bad for your ex....In reality he is only paying for two of your children as Nic is over 18....Secondly think about all the years that you have struggled on your own financially....He will survive....
It is a bit daunting but in actual fact you shouldn`t be any worse off financially other than of course the rent going up but it shouldn`t jump too much...Just go with the flow and see how it all works out for you....
Hi Lil Harry!!
Hope you have a great Easter!
As for Child support... I get a LOT! and it causes animosity! BUT! the kids do cost.....
yeah you are right Mandy..I just have moments of almost feeling sorry for him. You are right about Nic too.. we had the option to continue claiming for her , even though he wasn't paying anyting at time but she said she didn't want to seen to be getting any thing from him.. I doubt he will do the same with our eldest son living with him when he is 18.
And Yes kids do cost heaps, Sassy!! I would rather he just disappeared totally.
Hi 'LHarry
Wishing you a safe and Happy Easter weekend.
Hugs and rainbows
Hello lil harry,
I am positive I posted a comment to your post, perhaps I typed something incorrectly, oh well.
Have a lovely Easter.
Take care,
Margaret
hope your easter break has been a good one and you enjoyed it. as for your ex try not to feel too sorry for him. you've been doing it alone for many years. it's time he did a bit of his share too. it sounds confusing these days with child payments. when my son was born i got $2.00 per month, yes month, child payment. yippee. of course that was many years ago. he's 30 something now. things have changed. :) bfn
