we are off to see a solicitor today, I just was wondering if anyone else had such experiences. Thanks for answering me :) ( I know it sounds daft but I don't really want to bring attention to ourselves with the CSA if I can possibly help it!) I meant to add too, that his ex is on the social, so anything extra she might get from us would be taken from her anyway, she is just being spiteful!! She is however already losing out as my fiance has now stopped all the little extras she was getting (because I am now paying all the bills, so he has a little money for himself at last), like taking them on holiday, money for mobile phones and such like!
Sorry to all you on the receiving end of people like us(!!) but the way I look at it is that if we hadn't got together then he wouldn't have any money, and the money I have was left to look after my son and myself, bearing in mind it is unlikely that I will ever work due to disability!
Oh well, rant over! off to see what the legal bods have to say. I will report back in case it may help someone else in the future.
I was going to say sugarscrap that if you look on the CSA's homepage you can find out what they can take money from. I think that you should find that the money you were left for you and your son isn't taken into account. It also tells you on site how much savings etc they will take into account. This is your money although if you haave it in a joint account I would think they might see it differently.

Did you go to the solicitors? How did you get on? I hope you have a lovely wedding and good luck with the ex!!
