While we go through divorce proceedings, my wife and 16 yr old daughter continue to live at the former marital home whilst I stay at my parents. CSA have just given me a figure of £300 p/m to pay for Child Support. This is roughly the amount I currently continue to pay towards the mortgage of the house. As long as I can demonstrate that I pay the mortgage, does this count towards the monthly CSA figure? Surely I don't have to pay both?

On what basis are you paying towards mortgage if you are not living there?

What are plans for the house?

What are the 16 year old plans as CMS may not be payable for very long?
