DIVORCE & THE CSA

Hi
big hello to everyone in the big scary world,well mine is long and complicated story ,it all began about 5 years when my wife developed a love for vodka,and slipped into clinical depression,and she put a lot of weight on.She would kick me out of the house on regular occassions ,only for me to keep going back because of the kids mainly but not only.Anyway this cycle continued for several years.I eventually moved out permanently and moved in with my mum as i had had enough tantrums etc.I had always paid all the bills etc during this time and still do although i have not set foot in the house for over 1 year,and had mimimal contact with the kids.I have since starting seeing somebody else and she is not happy,and things have got worse,i have had no contact with the kids and she has called in the CSA ,She has not worked for over 5 years and wont even consider getting a part-time job,even though i dont think her health is upto it anyway.So it looks like i will spend the next 10 years paying the bills and losing 20% of my remaining salary to the CSA ,any advice please!!

Rubik,
Tell us a little more detail and perhaps some suggestions can be made.

Have you or your wife started divorce proceedings?

How many and how old are the children?

Do you own the house? Is it mortgaged?

Have the police ever been involved?

Sounds like you have had a pretty difficult time. Hopefully someone will be able to offer some ideas for you
