Father jailed for refusing to pay child maintenance

[BrilloPad]

Whyt he feck didnt he just pay the 320 quid to the csa and have the ex-wife send it back over with the kids?

Or is he just been a stuborn b4stard? Send him down, if for nothing else, wasting the courts time.

issue is that the CSA often get it wrong. and have in this case.

do you think we should do everything government says? is nothing worth taking a stand over? no wonder TB gets away with murder...

I agree. Shocking case on the face of it, but he clearly wants to be a martyr.

to be a martyr he would have just told court to f**k off. he did argue his case - that he was actually discrimated against as he did not have the Child Benefit. He was a shared resident in all but CB book.

I'm not sure what you mean by that VM, but although it is true, IMHO without people like him fighting against bad law we'd be in a sorry state. Who here bends over and pays IR35 taxes? Should we knock Arctic Systems for their stand against S660?

It is only highly-publicised cases like this that can change the CSA for the better.

Quote: "Last year, it was said the agency had an estimated £3 billion in unrecovered debt and a backlog of 333,000 cases." It is wrong to try and recover that from unjustified but easy targets.

Full respect to the man for standing by his principles and not giving into the tuliphole of a legal system we have!

Its absolutely shocking to sentence him!

Rightly so, why should we pay more than we need to. He was a caring father who provided for his kids so why shouyld he have to pay twice. FFS he has to make a living for himself aswell!

Fook the CSA

Maxamus, you make me laugh. Your signature says "Keep it clean!!" but on the majority of your posts, you're a potty mouth!

What do you want "keeping clean"? Your car?

I see. Wouldn't be worth cleaning the car whilst there's so much rain anyway.

I suspect there is more than meets the eye here. The CSA are not automatically involved unless the parent with care is claiming means tested benefits in relation to the children. So either the ex-wife put a claim in or she was as I suspect at one time claiming benefits. If so then you the tax payer were helping him support his kids.

If he had given his ex-wife enough money to help her stop claiming benefits the CSA would never have been involved, I know this as this is exactly my cicumstances.
