The purpose of the CSA is to grab back money for the government that all the ex-wives claim in benefits. They also tend to believe everything the ex-wife says about how much is owed. They also abuse their powers, and go straight to your employer without permission. They fob you off, but lsiten attentively to the rubbish an ex-wife comes out with. How do I know? Its happened to me, we received £100 compensation from them and they admitted that the case worker had been less than neutral.

We had the same rubbish idea n the UK too.
The CSA said it was owed millions by so-called 'dead beat dads' only for it later to be discovered it was THEIR fault the money wasn't being collected.
Men atre treated worse than second-class citizens in the feminazi-family courts.
Until there is real equality and automatic joint custody then I' d urge all men not to pay a single penny.
But of coutrse the vast majority of fathers love their children and wouldn't dream of hurting their loved ones in such a fashion.
Shame that can't be said about the thousands of women who each year try to airbrush fathers out of their children's lives with the family courts conivance just because THEY don't want them in THEIR lives anymore.
Where are the so-called feminist believers in equality on this issue? The sisterhood (sorry - victimhood) preach equality but all they are really interested in is privilege for one gender. THEIRS.
They are a disgrace.

If men pay child support then they are only morally legitimising a legal framework that secretly sees all men as 'abusers' of one sort . From the thousands of government-funded women's groups, to the divorce courts the 'pc' western political system is designed to destroy mens lives. Anyone who challenges the system can easily be labelled somehow pro-rape or pro-child sex abuse by pro-feminist politicians. Men haven't stood up to fight because they a) this view of them has become accepted by the liberal elite and b) admit to a problem for fear of being seen as weak or vulnerable. Sorry guys, but a problem won't go away just by ignoring it. Politicians have seen to it that there are massive consequence for their treatment of you - and for their abuse of your children (by denying your child's right to see you). At the moment there are no consequences. The answer is simple: get organised, get vocal - and above all make them know the voting consequences.

I think that if the court system was fair and not biased against men you would find more compliance. The legal system criminalizes and marginalises fathers for no reason other than their gender. They take our kids away from us even when it is the woman who initates and causes the destruction of the family. The biggest reason for divorce is that middle aged women get bored with their spouse and know that if they dump them it will be like hitting lotto. They get the house, the kids, a nice monthly income off their ex. Perhaps if the person who initiates the divorce was the big loser, instead of it always being the male, then you wouldn.t see this problem
