Antiseptic,i wish i could negotiate with my ex,but he is not that easy to talk to,and all that would come from it is yet more dramas.I would rather bite my arm off than talk to him one on one.Antiseptic you are wright and I know this would be the easiest solution but I guess I`m stubborn in that way.

Samsung,One could only wish that all you needed to do was to lodge a tax return and all our problems would be solved,not.I was told by tht tax department that unless you owed them money you dont have to lodge a return as they are more than happy to keep your money in there coffers,I dont know how true that is.

I dont see why I have to lodge a change of assesment form anyway ,the CSA have on more than one occasion said that these forms needed to be lodged.Why cant they just do it on my behalf.I feel that I`m being bullied into it.

Lets say I do what they ask,I have two mortgages,(I work 2 jobs and my parents have past away)does this mean I should get less support if my ex is renting?.I own my 97 celica,if my ex has a car on hp is that another strike for me.Why does my ex need to know how much I owe on my mortgages does he make the final decision? I hope not.This whole thing is a joke.

They wonder why the mums and dads end up hateing each other,there is no point in giving this kind of information.In a perfect world all these cases would be made on an individual bases.I cant see how they can make these poor men and women pay these huge child support payments while others pay none.I thought that the CSA was all about supporting one another,and moving forward not keeping us stuck in the past.

Hi RObert,glad to be back,thanks.You always seem to have a calming influence on everyone.

no privacy, thanks but obviously not calming on everybody. I probably should not have bothered responding to samsung, a poor choice on my part playing his or her game.

My understanding is that not owing tax is not an excuse to avoid filing a tax return, they generally don't penalise you for late returns if they owe you money but you are still required to file one.

In theory CSA are trying to balance capacity to support children against needs, they can take circumstances into account. What they do is probably designed for the most part with good intentions in mind. They are also trying to reduce the welfare burden on the taxpayer by trying to get the maximum out of payers that they can and presumably meeting some performance targets for their own reporting.

My overall view is that the cost in prolonging and or creating conflict, contributing to income reducing behaviours by both payers and payees and the impact on child residency arrangements makes the whole thing far more harmful than helpful.

I come back to the thread a bit like RObert I know I should let it lay.
But with total honesty I think evidence exists of tag team posting in this thread.
And one poster pretended to miss understand one of my posts on purpose to gain ammunition for further insults.
Just maybe some who post here know each other elsewhere.
Some true nit picking has taken place and it has every sign of being controlled.
Privacy, well it is a right we all claim, but under attack on every front.
Remember the Aussie card? I fought my party on that one every day, and celebrated its defeat.
I still fight for the right to not see privacy lost, even my party.
Some times my drivers license is demanded as proof of who I am.
Only a police officer will see it from me ,ten other cards I will show but that document has long ago lost its use as proof of age.
Nit picking does not win the debate, it however highlights that some come here to do so not debate.

I am a liitle tired of your complaints on each thread we comment on that we have done so.
We made 'one' comment unlike you.
Well may bullying be part of the trade union movement but it wont work with us.
We will post on any threads we see fit.
Just as YOU do.

Well said Belly ,well said.
