I don't know if I posted about this before (been lurking and not posting for a while) but XH quit his job he's now opened up a new business and is working for himself. He told the CSA and now he has to pay $240 a month child support.
The CSA will let CL know and i'm pretty sure i'll get more money from them. The thing is XH has said that he'll fling me some more money "when he can" so do I then tell CL that?
Do I just call them if he gives me extra? Does it depend how much? I mean, if he gives me an extra $50 one month it's prob not worth saying is it but if he gives me double then do I just call and tell them?
IME, I would tell them for sure!
My ex once gave me $50 to help with medication for our daughter who was sick in hospital. After an arguement, he told them he gave me $50, they asked me if it was true, I said yes and I had to pay it back to him by having him pay $50 less one month.
i didnt know that centerlink needed to be informed if extra money is recieved from child maintenance.
I guess if thats the case, write any extra amounts on the calander so that you have a record of how much extra has been recieved and let CL know on a fortnightly basis.
So if he pays extra I have to tell the CSA not CL? It's a private agreement though so will they even care?
Lisa - seriously?? Thats nuts!
What if it's $50 worth of presents for the kids? What about if he wants to pay $50 extra then should I tell him to buy $50 worth of food?? Would I have to tell them then or is it just cash?
BTW I'm not trying to find out ways around it I just don't want him to do a grocery shop or something then find out it's the same thing and I have to pay it back IYKWIM??
You might be entitled to some more money. As soon as I moved out and notified them they adjusted my claim. It wont hurt to as I said ring and ask them!.
I did, and she said I wasn't entitled I thought it'd be going up heaps but apparently because i've received a high amount of CS during the year, I can't have more CL money now - even though i'm no longer getting the high amount.
ETA if it wasn't for my parents I would seriously have to send the kids to their Dad and be crashing on someones sofa
How do I record this?
