Yes in theory the CSA was a good idea but its as well run as most govenment departments. A lot of people think that is the mother and child that suffer yet I am financially worse of than my ex who works full time gets working tax credit family allowence and my contribution. She can run a car and afford a morgage I cannot yet I am still considered a bad guy. I have never shirked my responsibility of financial support so why if my circumstances change do I always feel I am in the wrong. The set up is so buracratic its beyond belief to the extent I turned a payrise down in October because of the hassle it is with them.

Even if the split is amicable and there is no initial contact for payments through the CSA as soon as the parent with the child applies for say WTC then they become involved wether the parents like it or not. It is still split between the old and new rules (me I am under the old rules) and the easiest way to get off the old rules to the new is have another child and be 5% better off and thats the advice they give.

Some fathers will be pushed over the edge and people seem indiferent so maybe they should try it for a year and see how they feel.
