I agree with you, A.C.D. I think that it also outlines the importance of HR in every organisation. They should be on top of every development that could affect the organisation, its business and its employees.
As soon as you are no longer claiming benefit you are liable for maintenance. the PWC (parent with care) will know that you are not on benefit as soon as they get payments.
My general advice for dealing with the CSA is to get your details under the freedom of information act and check it carefully. They make LOADS of mistakes. Complain - Complain - Complain if you find anything.

what do i need to take with me, tried contacting the csa ,they say it takes 40 days to comply with data protection to realease all files what can i expect and can my wife have a say on my behalf what can they do
We have received a request from the Child Support Agency about one of our employees. I was about to comply with the request when a supervisor stopped me saying that it is against the data protection act. I have always thought that you were required by the CSA to furnish them all information requested
it has a mandate to demand for information from the relevant parties (in this case the parents) and employers of the relevant parties as well as the authority. Being a government body means that they fall outside any DP laws,it clear that you should not "intentionally delay or obstruct any inspector" nor should you "refuse or neglect to answer" their questions or requests for information.
That would earn you a £1000 fine!
