So ex has a new dependant. He & teen gf have had their baby.
Does this mean his rate of CSA (if he were to pay me! :rofl: ) will drop? And he doesn't communicate with them... so they won't know about said child for a while I don't think... unless c'link sends that info through?
If he doesn't tell them, & reduce his rate, will that come back & bite me on the back side one day? Is there any reason at all that I should call them up with this info?
Yes it will drop his payment rate.
As for the information being reported to cs no it is not your responsibility at all.
It is the fathers job to inform them of changes in his circumstances for example my ex earnt less last financial year compared to the year before so technically his payment rate should have been lower but because he didn't tell them when his hrs dropped then that's his problem BUT he was quick to tell them when he lost his job so payments ceased immediately then again when he finds work it is then his responsibility to ring and let them know as when they recon at tax time next year he will get hit with a bill if the estimate he provides is way under.
they will be made aware of the child when they register its birth. you don't need to do anything. and yes payment will be less.
Ok, so even if they don't find out for a while, there wouldn't be a chance of me having to back pay him? (If by some miracle he does do his tax & they do take some money in the future. Not that it will happen, but better to be safe...)
Up dating his details is his responsibility, if you weren't on speaking terms you would have no way of knowing about the new baby.
It makes sense it would be his "tough luck".
Well he hasn't actually told me... or the kids yet. I have his family on facebook. Good point though :)
My ex didn't inform CSA for a few months of the birth of his daughter. I ended up with a debt to him as they backdated from when the baby was born and I owed him as the percentage changed. They reduced the amount my ex paid to me until the debt was paid. I had told CSA that he had a new baby but there was nothing they could do as he needed to inform them.
That's what I thought. He hasn't paid be a cent though & owe's about $3000. Unless he puts in his tax they'll never catch up with him.
He gets paid by cheque & his employer is ignoring any communication, so there's nothing that can be done. I highly doubt he'll call them while he's getting away with not paying.
Payment will be less, but not by much. When we had DS2, DH's payments to his ex hardly changed at all.
they will catch up with him through the new baby itms
don't know if it will mske him psy but will bump his file to top and have up to date contact info etc
I don't think the new baby will make much difference TBH. They don't have HIS address (they have his mothers), & will once its all updated with c'link, but they have his phone number, it hasn't changed. Neither has his employer's details.
He won't put a tax return in because he knows exactly where it'll go. No point in his eyes. He won't see it. They can't take her money.
But then if she's on PPP, something may come out eventually. She'd have to declare his earnings... & wait for his tax to get supplement payments. :dunno: Who knows. Next financial year could be interesting... And if she's on PPS, nothing like a tip off :lol:
Can they take the 3k out of his baby bonus?
Doubt it. As far as I know that's her money isn't it? I could call them up I guess & see if the baby being his makes a difference.. being that there is an income there that wasn't before. But I expect that if its in her name it wouldn't matter. An being a c'link payment they'd only take a minimal amount... which wouldn't cover what he's meant to pay now, let alone any debt. That's my understanding anyway.
I called them. If the baby bonus etc is paid in his name, sure they could take some. But not in her name.
C'link will pass on any info to CSA & the tax department, so this could get interesting.
