Where have you got this information from?

Shocking!

The motivation for change, is to get, seperated/divorced couple to come to a private arrangement

to save the state, cost.

 

The extra cost, will be bourne, by the payer, not the recipient.

So where is the encouragement, for the recipient, to come to a private agrrement.

 

The payer will pay more, across all income bands.

 

Alert!!: Benefit claimants, will now pay £10, instead of £5 ...... thats a huge increase, if your on benefits.

Can't I'm afraid. I don't trust him to keep paying me regularly. It took 3 years to get an attachment to his earnings.

Blimey, exactly the same here. Get on fine with my ex, but it took that long too here, & he tried binning off CSA a couple of years ago, & doing it between us, I was having none of that because I know he would be constantly saying he's skint, he already does that anyway but thankfully the Deduction of earnings is in place!
