I’m in a position where my (ex) partner has pulled the trigger early on claiming CM via the CSA - and by early I mean that whilst having moved out (separation was only intended as temporary initially) I’m still paying for the rent, electricity, internet, etc for the house that she and the children are living in.
CSA have calculated my payments, but on the phone even they seem at a loss as to whether I should be making them when I’m already paying more than that in rent, electricity, etc to her.
Does anyone have any experience of a similar situation? - am I able to show the rental (and other) payments as a contribution to (or more than) the child maintenance payments until they move out or she takes over the rental payments?
- or will I somehow need to bankrupt myself to cover both until the tenancy ends?
