Thanks for all the advice, this situation has been put to rest (in our household) lol. So all sorted on our end.

As i said we are happy to keep going the way things are going i just thought it would have worked out better for her on her end. We arent angry, arent feeling 'ripped off' or anything like that, all is sweet

murraysmum, you can definately call the CSA and ask for a re evaluation? I made sure of that incase we ever go through them as DP is a trady so his pay tends to change week to week.

Inertia, thank you for your personal example! Thats all we were really asking, to make sure DSD is actually benefiting from the CS. If that sounds controlling then i guess we are controlling ... i think DP has a right to ensure his daughter is cared for properly.

Anyway, thanks again
