no idea
as i've never done family law, sorry. i'd have said citizens advice is first free step.

Fair enough, had to ask :-)
Think he's been to the CAB already, in fact I believe he termed them "shit".

yeah, i guess you get what you pay for
but in this case, where he hasn't asked the CSA to come down on the fathers they can find who were doing their role, it sucks hairy donkey dick.

i say go back in v robust terms putting them to strict proof on every penny and totally reserving his position. then he can see what they come back with to see if he needs a lawyer. chances are it's a standard letter banged out with no thought!

That sounds like a good plan
and pretty much what he has in mind I think. I reckon you're probably right and that a lot of these letters will end up coming to nothing, but imagine how many poor buggers are out there who won't try to fight it and will just get cleaned out.

they have asked for too much
threaten her dad with £5k and he might cough up. threaten him with £50k and he'll tell them to fuck off.

Very true
They've asked the wrong person, too. He won't do anything he doesn't think is entirely fair. He was caring for three daughters 1 week in 2 following the divorce so the suggestion that he should have coughed up for the other week as well is clearly bollocks.

Don't forget he owed his wife spousal support as well as maintenance
and the CSA won't give a shit if he was 50/50 with the ex if the ex didn't tell them.

Genuinely no idea about this, and I appreciate I haven't provided all the facts
Why would he owe her spousal support? She was living with another chap pretty quickly after the divorce, in fact the divorce was her fault.

^this
I would add that it is totally unreasonable to expect him to deal with their corresppondence in the format presented. And is likely in breach of their own guidelines which he should look up.

I bet you were really unreasonable too.

Asking for £43K in a letter is taking the piss innit
