Do women ever pay it?

According to the csa when I asked, rarely.

It'd be nice to know some do.

I would imagine what's good for the gander is also good for the goose?

My auntie didn't. She lost custody of 2 of her kids and refused to pay anything for them. Had another kid with someone else and wouldn't let him see his kid unless he paid. Yes she is a knob.

My first ex is male and has also paid nothing for his 2 kids, ever. He is a knob also.

Rules are the same regardless of the gender of the main care provider.

Someone who is in full time employment and is the absent parent pays maintainance to the parent with who the children live with.

If they are on benefits I believe a token payment is taken out.

However it's all worked out dependant on how often the parent has the child, other children and all sorts of things but has nothing to do with gender. Seems a very strange thing for the CSA to say

"

The lady at the csa explained it as this;

Men try to wriggle out of paying but in the end kinda know they'll have to where as women tend to say 'he wanted them he can pay for them'.

If a woman loses her kids she is usually not working or in a low paid job. Each time they try to assess her it's easy to just quit and then pick up another minimum wage job.

No. I asked "do you tend to struggle to get money out of women?"

I was exasperated and struggling financially.

Sad isn't it. It's not too bad if that parent actually can't afford to pay and invests time in them but this never happened either.

My sisters ex asked her to tell the CSA he was having his son overnight sometimes so he didn't have to pay anything, despite not bothering with him either. She told him to fuck off.

Yes. Very sad. My eldest's mother didn't bother with her and my youngest's had supervised contact. She hardly ever showed up and then moved to yorkshire. God knows why. She just did an exchange of her council house.

I'm just hoping to hear lots of guys saying 'yes, my ex pays' to restore my faith in the system.

Selfishness, pure and simple.

Feel grateful my 2nd ex has taken my kids on so they have a dad to look up to.

The system isnt perfect but its the absent parents who are in the wrong. There are less female nrps so it appears like many dont pay but I wouldnt think the stats are any higher than males. And for many it seems worse that women dont pay than men because historically majority of pwcs are women

True. I heard just 2% of single parents are male.

My ex got a new boyfriend and moved away without leaving a forwarding address, even tho up till that point I had access regularly. I spent thousands through solicitors etc trying to trace my son without success.

I was then contacted by the CSA wanting maintenance. I explained that my child had been to all intents and purposes had been kidnapped by my ex and the only thing they would do is forward a letter to my ex, the very person who absconded with my son.

I have been denied a relationship with him since he was 5, the CSA are still looking to collect 35k from me now, my son is now 32.

The CSA are a disgusting organization with no interest in the child, they only want cash.

Wow, awful because you had no choice in it. Do you have a relationship with your son now? I am looking forward to my sons getting backdated maintenance for the 18 and 17 years I have supported them. My daughter told her dad he was tight fisted idiot and she did not want anything to do with him. She also told him that when she is old enough, she will sue him on my behalf as she knows how hard I worked to bring all three up on my own with no financial help (I have a well paid job, but not the point). When a parent chooses to be absent, they lose so much - more than you could ever put a price on.

The csa said mothers rarely pay, compared to men? Is this the amount they have on their books, because the amount of men paying matinence is bound to be higher, as it is a fact that the mother normally is the sole carer of the children. However if it was based on stats of the percentage of each that pay then I guess it'd be different, not sure if justifiable though?

Now as the csa has gone and this other thing is in place, the primary carer can no longer get fined or warned if they don't apply for it (not that I'm sure many ever got fined anyway)!

Doesn't matter what the salary is of the absent parent, they're still meant to provide for their children. My ex pays towards the kids but we keep it away from the institutions.

I returned from working in London on the Friday and went to pick my son and step-son up as usual, the house was empty and they were gone. My Solicitor and a private detective could not trace them. I have not seen my boy since he was 5, I have another son who I have supported all his life and still do even though he is now 36!.

As I said the CSA do not care about the child, they had the address of my son, my child but refused to help apart from to pass a letter from me to his mother who was the very person who had absconded with him. I loved him to bits and it still affects me now.

To add insult to injury the CSA are still persueing me for 35k to this day, threatening me with imprisonment, loss of driving license etc.

To me it is like asking the mccanns to pay maintenance to maddy's kidnappers.

Will I give the CSA money....will I fuck!.

Can you get it back dated? That'd be rather lovely.
