Post by FletcherDo the maths!
By law they can only take 15, 20 or 25% for 1, 2 or3+ kids, if you have
arrears that can go to 40%. of your net take home pay max, if you have other
kids with you that play's it's part too and should reduce this take.
If they are within that boundry they don't have to justify it, that's the
law.
If it's more then they are in error and you need to get it sorted. Talk to
NACSA, write, complain, see your MP.
Partners incomes DO NOT COUNT, there income has nothing to do with you or
CSA
After all of that do the maths again, is it worth working? don't let pride
stand in your way, a lot of guys are 'technically' house husbands and there
wife girlfriends are the bread winner/company owner etc. sometimes you have
to use the system, not fight it if you get my drift. CSA ie government treat
this as a one shoe fits all senario in an effort to rake in cash, not for
kids, not for ex's but for government, almost a hundred million last year,
thats cool poppy to a government fighting in two wars heading for recession
and getting kicked out of office. WE ALL KNOW THAT'S A CROCK OF SHIT, they
are now running three systems so that three shoes that don't fit and inside
each one of those systems are a myriad of ways to reduce payments so 10 guys
in the same circumstances all pay different amounts, its government bullshit
so find a way to 'manage through this government nightmare, use their own
fucking systems to carve out a lifestyle you can live in.
Should I or can I become self employed?
Is immigration a possibility?

Partners finances don't enter into it, nither yours or hers.
Any settlements are nothing to do with CSA and don't enter into it.
They can only charge you based on your income and number of kids and any
arrears, so check their figures, they are most probably wrong!
With arrears they can take 40% of your net.
