Mrs Tyler

Can someone point me in the right direction please?  I have a court order dated December 2012 which states that my ex-husband has to pay me spousal maintenance and also maintenance for our two children.  In a nutshell, he did not pay the correct amount each month - sometimes not paying for two months at a time - and therefore owes me over £1,000.  Being a single parent, this is a lot of money.  I do know that once a court order is over a year old (in my case December 2013) then I have to go through the CSA to receive some maintenance.  Is there anything I can do to try and get the back maintenance due to me in the year of December 2012 to December 2013?

Good morning Mrs Tyler, welcome to One Space. Sorry to read that you are owed over £1,000, that certainly is a lot of money that would go a long way.

I'm afraid the CSA is a complicated business and I am no expert, however we do have an expert here online, where you can ask a question and Jean will respond directly to your Inbox, to get the info you need please go to CSA Expert.

I hope that she has some answers for your question, do come back and let us know.
