S2 Fraud Act

[dum-dum]

Two years ago my ex-wife dropped the bombshell that my 15year old daughter was not mine. She admitted this to the CSA who calculated that I had overpaid £3500 in payments but that I would have to sort it out between ourselves as i had made direct payment. My ex wife suggested that I cash in the life policy on our daughter £5000. In order that her current husband didnt find out we arranged the correspondance to come to my address and like an idiot I signed the form for her on her agreement. Now 18months down the line I have been arrested and bailed at home to go to the Police station later in the week. Am i right in thinking that i will be Ok as I was in the belief that I was acting honestly?? It is her word now against mine and I know for a fact that she has been taking anti- depressants

bednobs I can't quite understand your viewpoint. I paid CSA that she claimed was for 2 daughters of mine for over 3 years for 12 years I supported both daughters at home. On top of CSA i carried on paying into insurance policy. I agreed to take the m oney so as not to put my ex=wife through a court system and then to have to pay me back putting her possibly in financial difficulty which in turn would affect my daughters. Therefore yes the money was meant for my daughters whom have had more money lavished on them than this paltry 5k

well i think we will just have to agree to disagree.
There was a landmark case a couple of years back if i recall where a bloke took the mum to court because of the same situation and he was rejected, as well as making the offspring never talk to him again

If that is the final outcome so be it
