Letter Received from Child Maintenance Stating I Was Named a Father in 1992 and Owe £76,000 - LocalSolicitors.com

I received a letter from Child Maintenance Autumn last year stating I was named a father in 1992 and owe £76,000

Hello and thank you for your enquiry.

Under the provisions of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 you do have a potential entitlement to your husband's pension on divorce, which should be explored further as part of overall financial settlement.

We would be happy to have an initial chat over the telephone with you to see how we can help, with a view to offering you further advice and assistance from there.

Please feel free to contact us on 0121 746 3002 and ask for myself or Antoinette Nasilele and we will do all we can to assist you.

Kind regards

I'm in the final stage of my divorce and my husband has taken out 25% of his pension. Am I entitled to any of it?

Tempting as it is to instruct the pre-school not to provide your child's father with updates, he is legally entitled to ask for (and be provided with) this information.

The Government in it's infinite wisdom decided that lawyers and the courts should not be involved with issues over child support - and that led to the set up of the Child Support Agency (now the Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission).

If you have not already done so, it may be worth going on line to see what sort of maintenance you should be receiving and asking them to carry out an assessment. That way you and he will know what should be paid and there is a mechanism for collection and enforcement if necessary, although charges would apply.

On a completely different note, have you wondered why he is asking for so much information? Does he know how much this is winding you up?? I can seen you are paying a fair amount for your child's education. Can you focus on what you and your child are getting for that, rather than the fact that they are complying with their legal obligations where he is concerned? It might help with the irritation to focus on the benefit to you and your child as opposed to him getting updates.

Child's father doesn't pay/ contribute to childcare. Am I in my rights to stop the Preschool giving updates?
