Dept of Health: Proposes to remove the current reference in legislation to a child's need for a father.  

Will our new Minister quickly undo the damage created by his predecessor and remove this offensive section from the CSA website or do we all set sail down this new river of shame?
Let's see where Peters head is?

[Our update] 

Well it would appear that Peters Head is Squarely on his shoulders and he can hold it high as the offensive CSA name and shame list has been removed from the CSA site. We thank you Peter Hain.

[Our update 2] Looks like Peters head was'nt squarly on his shoulders after all, Head of the Gestapo and breaks his own party rules tut tut.

Q. Can CSA Keep any of my money paid as CHILD SUPPORT?

A. Yes, if your Ex Partner is on benefits of say £600 a month and your being charged say £1,000 a month. Your partner only receives an extra £10.00 per week or say £40.00 a month. (nothing if you are under CSA1 rules) The treasury keep the other £360/400 to themselves. It may be that you have two sets of children but the treasury will happily steal from those children (they've been doing this since it started) by keeping any excess between what they take from you, above what they pay out to your ex partner. The irony here is that you're paying the partners entire benefit bill, supporting not only your children but all the ex partners needs too and also giving money to the treasury. So all in all it's understandable why CSA, the procurement wing of the treasury are motivated by bonuses sanctioned by the government. Presumably the government consider you should pay them simply because you have separated from your ex partner and earn more than they would pay her. The ultimate double whammy.

Q. Can I trust them if they tell me something over the phone?

A. No. It's a well known fact that if you do not have any information purporting to come from CSA in writing then it is utterly useless information. They consistently lie to "clients", provide false, inaccurate and misleading information. You are strongly advised to deal with CSA only in writing. That way they must ensure the information is correct and you have a written record of it.

Q. If I'm in the forces do have to pay CSA?

A. Yes and no. The CSA is riddled with discriminations and in the case of force if your a full time member yes you must pay like everyone else however if your a full time member of the territorial army then it's your lucky day, you don't have to pay a penny.
"The Territorial Army is classed as a Special Occupation and Child Support Regulations state any payment made in respect of the performance of duties as a member of any territorial or reserve force
is not to be treated as earnings." So we have people working full time, earning £20,000 a year and paying nothing. It's a case of one shoe fits all except those csa say it doesn't fit.
