Problems with CSA

posted on July 28, 2010 in Single Parents

Many single parents seem to be having problems with the CSA (Child Support Agency), the CSA are supposed to support single parents and Children and help fathers get access to their children. However admin mistakes and reportedly rude personnel is causing many single parents, men and women, to get increasingly frustrated by the agency.

I was recently browsing the internet and I came across a website called CSA Hell this reminded me of a forum thread that got started on our divorce forum a while back on the Child Support Agency, one of our forum members reported their own problems with the CSA and from the looks of www.csahell.com he is not alone in these problems.

When you split up from a relationship it is difficult to keep an amicable relationship with your ex partner, and this can have a negative effect on your children. The CSA are supposed to help make this easier but many of our forum members feel that in fact the CSA make things much harder, by interfering communication breaks down between the parents and many single dads feel their child support money is not afforfable.
Join the discussion, are you a single parent who is having problems with the CSA? Have you got horror stories to tell about poor admin, having to give up work or take cash in hand jobs to survive after the CSA take a large proportion of your earnings? Or do you love the CSA? Have you been helped out by the Child Support Agency?
