You drive a Porsche and are wanting to claim back 1/2 the child benefit. Move on, love your kids, and forget about her.
not sure my car is relavent (it cost less than you last pair of shoes).

however from the info above and google it seems getting an authority involved will incur some sort of maintenance cost. probably not in my favour. which leaves small claims or solicitors, neither of which would be amicable.
or as some have suggested, accept the current situation. fair play does not seem to apply.

CSA has nothing to do with child benefit, they are there to use your earnings as the non resident parent to fund the upkeep of the child at the resident parents home. If you have no written agreement for child support the resident parent can claim a % of your earnings, so the question is do you really want to lose a possible 20% of your weekly income over £20 child benefit? The CSA would also back date this from separation. Let her have the child benefit, let her have her new life, keep seeing your child and be grateful you can have all your wages and access to you kid.
When you don't know what you are talking about it's best to shut the fk up ...
Not the most eloquent reply, but I guess that's the standard on here at the moment. Only 6 weeks left of the school holidays.

Wrong.

CSA is only payable from the date they are contacted by one/both parents.
Depends on which agent you get, some tend to go with the dates given by the resident parent. Still it's all irrelevant now as they are closing down and moving towards new routes. I'm sure I saw a post a while back about mediation etc
