What about the cases where the CSA works absolutely perfectly for both parties involved?
I'm amazed you think the department is "morally corrupt". A department that is designed to ensure the children of broken homes in this country are well-fed and housed, and in the most part succeeds. Fuck me, it almost sounds like you'd rather the CSA didn't exist and all single parents generally struggled like fuck and lived entirely off the state, or fought over money AS WELL AS access to the kids involved.

I have paid thousands out to my ex over the years. Now I'm a single father with absolutely no contribution from the mother (because I don't ask for one), I earn less than minimum wage but I work my hours and and we get by, mostly because I'm an adult and I can handle my shit. People who whinge about this get right on my tits because it's always the other person's fault, it's always the other party who's a bitch or the system that's broken. Take some responsibility, man the fuck up and get on with it. If it's destroying your life, go to Citizen's Advice, your solicitor, mediation, litigation or counselling, whatever it takes to come to terms with where your life is now. Don't sit in front of the screen bitching about it here.
