Father if working pays a minimum of £23 a week (off the top of my head) and if claiming benefit pays £5 a week.

If he has the child for over X amount of nights per year then he can claim a reduction. If he has costs incurred to himself to visit the child, then he can make a claim.
Basically as it stands, he has to pay the CSA until the child is either 16 and in full time employment or 18 if the child stays in full time education.

The money that is paid to the CSA is on top of any maintenance that is agreed between the parents or given in a court order. The money paid to the CSA does NOT go to the child, well not directly anyway.

The CSA at the moment has had my claim for over a year, I still havent had an evaluation done, I dont know how much I have to pay or when and where I have to pay it, but they are still charging me!!!!

In the past year I have received 1 phone call and One letter from them.
Dont hold your breathe.
