    Your poor friend! Why wouldn't he want to talk to them so he doesn't have to pay? All I can suggest is she calls when he is around and then just hands the phone over.

    I think she should leave it with him and see what happens. It is his responsibility.

    If it wasn't this issue, I would bet he'd do it over something else.

    Doesn't sound like there is much she can do if he wont call them.

    I'm not sure what his deal is.
    They had a private agreement so CS wont chase up his payments as far as I know. She just wants everything finalised so they can put it all behind them. I guess she could always leave the case open if he won't call?! The C'link payments will be adjusted as they should.
    Poor thing, not fair

    It depends on how much the amount of the CS assessment is affecting her Family Tax Benefit.

    But if he was only paying a minimal amount, I think even the CSA put the claim on hold for six months, after people get back together, before closing it off completely? Or that is recommended.

    Really to me it does sound like another red flag in the relationship..hopefully I am wrong.
