and it seems to indicate "formal arrangements only" or am i reading it wrong? Surely the OR will have an awareness that not all child maintenance payments need to be done through formal means and just because it wasn't done formally it doesnt mean it doesnt count as a reasonable expense of mine?
I'm not on the birth cert and my son has a different surname, but that was not important 12 years ago when me and my ex split up!
I have my son every weekend.
If the OR is not happy with this, I'll have to stop paying and my ex will have to take me to the CSA? Surely that's in no one's best interests?
Anyone with experience in this matter?
My bank statements will reflect monthly payments to the mother of my child for many years, each and every month!!!!
