Child maintenance

[Mudfart]

yep thats why, even if he has an absolute crap relationship now with his ex, I'm sure between the screams he could blurt out to her he is willing to pay 1000 or even 2000 a month off the IRD radar. If your on it and paying child support, I would seriously leave the fucking country, it will be the wisest financial decision of your life.
They favour the female so much, its not funny. I know dads that have the kids 50% of the time or more, and still pay maintainence to the mothers, coz IRD says so..... Im still paying 20 a week, for a mistake they made 5years ago. Ive got 2 more years to finally pay the fucker off too. I told them I didnt have a job anymore but they said they couldnt readjust the amount til the end of the financial year, which turned out to be 3500$ away. Then wen they did, and I didnt have to pay CS anymore, they started charging interest on the 3500 I "owed". Went upto 6000$. Will take 6 years to pay off, 2 to go!!!!! Funny thing is, the ex isnt collecting it, it was a figure pulled out of someones arse, so, who the fuck is getting it? the MP's thats who the FUCK!!!

WOW, I cant believe how much child support some people pay.

I get $67 per month from my ex, and he moans his tits off about paying that.

IRD and their penalties are freaking nasty. From my experience, if you make an arrangement with them and stick to it, they do wipe all penalities. well, thy did for me and not once but twice.

I'd love to spend the day lazing around watching crap on the tv. But alas, I have washing to wash, hang out, fold and put away. I also have dishes to clean, a house to clean (dont' mention boys and the toilet) I've also got lunches to make, kids to get to school, trees to chainsaw, lawns to mow, veges to grow gardens to weed, baking to to baked, dinner to be prepared, children to take to dancing, basketball, soccer, netball, rugby, tennis, brownies. Oh and sometimes they like to go play with their friends. I've also got to repaint the house, make sure there is food in cupboards, get up at 2.46 am when daniel has a bad dream or chloe has a sore tummy, make sure they have clean sheets on their beds. oh yeah and dont' forget making them some new pants for winter so their legs don't get too cold when we walk to school each morning. Oh yeah and the times I take them on school trips or even help out with spelling or maths in their classroom. somewhere in there I find time to burn out my stresses at the gym, exercise the dog, clean the fly shit of the ceiling and clean the freaking windows. Since the twins started school I gave up smoking and bought the bike, much better for me and I try to get out 3 rides a week while they at school, oh yeah and I work in the weekends at a coffee bar so I have some extra dollars to take the darlings to the movies, or swimming or somewhere fun they wish to go. Evenings would be nice for tv....but alas I'm wasting time on here blurping shit...sit down is over, dishes to wash, washing to fold and think I may also do some work for my artist friend.....I work freaking hard raising my children, on my own and put in so much effort...not all on the DPB are shithead fat arses, some actually do take their 'job' as parent seriously and work damn hard to make it all work.

That sounds remarkably like the scenario many parents face - who both still find time to bring in an honest wage.

God I'm glad I only work a 45hr week

I seriously doubt that is accurate surely. Only 20% remains after costs? Come on.

.....................................lots and lots of typing.............................. more typing..........................

Ever heard of paragraphs??!!

[Mudfart]

in my scenario with child support payments, they refused to wipe the penalty interest charges on the phantom overdue monies, however as soon as i got another job, i rang them to arrange payments, and they stopped the interest accrueing any higher! Fucking generous bastards.... the new job i got was only paying 10.50 an hour. Thank fuck after 3 months of slaving my ass off laying concrete and topsoil etc... i got a rise to 12.35$ an hour. it meant i still had to live on the $20 pack of 60 mad butcher sausages, that if you cut them open, they had bits of blue plastic in them for filling. Nothing beats plastic for taste or curing hunger pains.
And yes, I did take the letter they sent me outlining the error in legislation that, "tied their hands" to the "honourable" murray mccully. Although i only got to explain it to his "legal secretary", who by her blank response, had no idea.

And you wonder why I'm so incensed?

[dogsnbikes]

Its a shite system........my partner pay's through the nose too IRD and her X who has the kids gets zich nudda nufing cos he would rather stay on the DPB than get a job,and still on top we pay for the extras for the girls just right now she has taken food down to them coz they home alone(they age 16 & 14) and no food in the house

so once again the workers supporting the wankers sad thing is we aren't the first to do so and we sure the hell wont be the last

[Toaster]

Crikey what a criminal ripoff!

[GOONR]

Back in the UK I used to pay one third of my wage to the Child Support Agency. That was before tax. You couldn't even have a private agreement, the CSA could over ride any private arrangement that you had and could even over ride court orders that had been in place for years.

The mother & child received nowhere near what I was paying, the CSA took most of it as 'Admin fees'.

[MsKABC]

The recipient of child support must apply for child support if they apply for a benefit - no option for a private agreement. Child support offsets the DPB. If the partner liable for child support pays more than the value of the DPB, the custodial parent gets the excess. Child support must be paid by the 20th of each month (for the month prior), and is paid out by IRD on the 7th of the following months, so there is a time lag of 6 weeks initially, but then it comes every month.

Don't believe everything you hear.
