Oh happy day! I thought it would NEVER happen but DH has finally reclaimed his balls from BM's keychain. After banging my head against a brick wall for 3 years and after yet another massive arguement last weekend where I told him enough was enough and I didn't know if I wanted to do this anymore he FINALLY sent BM an e-mail stating the CS had to be amended.

Now before I get accused of being a stingy witch let me clarify BM works part-has done for last 4 years (SS is 10), her and DH have shared care. On the CSA calculator with DH wage he is suppose to be paying her £132 a month -primarily due to us having SS more than 175 nights a year (actually we are already up to 116 and she only on 97 to date- but thats a separate issue!). Anyway DH & BM were never married yet she managed to use every dirty trick in the book to convince him he needs to pay her more than the recommended CSA amount as she was struggling-even when her BF moved in a few years back which she emphatically denied-they married a few months ago after she "accidentally" fell pregnant AGAIN! So DH was coughing up £300 a month as well as school uniforms,school dinners and all extra curricular activties oh and also an additional £350 for the 11 plus tutor as well as holiday club over the school holidays -every school holiday on both our days and BM's days!

So after last weekend DH sends BM an e-mail that he is prepared to pay £150 plus all extra curricular activities-well talk about an explosion!! She threw an absolute hissy fit saying she can't manage on that amount and she wants the full £300 as she has direct debits coming out of her account and no money to pay them with and is going to the CSA, the stupid cow doesn't realise that according to the CSA calculator she is only entitled to £132 a month and not a penny more. We have now receieved a letter from the CSA requesting DH payslips so an amount can be agreed upon.Oh well..........lets watch the slow motion car crash in action
