csa assessment

[sunshine1]

does anyone know if my wages are taken into consideration when my husbands csa assessment is being assessed

[MYSTERYT]

because you are married i think you might find that your wages are taken into account.
even if you weren't married but living as a couple they would still assess your wages as well
normally as far as i know and have read they take 15% for the first child and 5% for each
child after that,
but who knows with the csa

Under the new rules, no. They may ask what you earn, but it isn't taken into consideration. Under the new rules the CSA only assess the absent parents salary and take a %.

I have just checked the official CSA website and its says the following; - (has my edits)
The income of any partner living with the parent is
excluded from the calculation of net income.
However, a partner�s income can affect the allowance for children in exempt income (children living with the non resident parent) and can be taken into account in the first protected income calculation. Non-resident parents are not required to disclose their partner�s income, but if they do not, an interim maintenance assessment may be
imposed. BASICALLY you get a reduction in accountable income so you can provide for your children living with you but if the partners wage covers that it won't be taken into account. Does that make sense?
