This Association was brought about by Maurice and Sherri equally to support advise and assist all NRPs and NRPPs who find themselves at the hands of the Child Support Agency or soon to be known as Child Maintenance Enforcement Commissioner CMEC. As most of us who are now caught up by the CSA will have noticed how degrading demoralising this Government run Agency make you as an NRP or NRPP feel. It has become too common an occurrence now for this Agency to lie, abuse powers, break laws and fail to follow their own procedures in order to obtain money to pay towards child maintenance, this we feel has to stop and that is what we are here for, so if your impassioned and feel you want to right a wrong then please join us. We welcome you, your advice and support even from people who are no longer in the grasps of this Agency, please come and join us and lend your support.

What society expects to happen- but why should it happen this way?

 

    Divorce is never easy and what normally happens is that the NRP ( usually the father ) ends up moving out of the FM Home  and  has to start again by looking for alternative accommodation which means an increase in a new mortgage or increase in rent, as we all know that paying rent can sometimes be more than paying a mortgage.

NRP’s have no option, or are lead to believe they have no option, than to move out are forced to either rent or buy another property, some even going as far as to continue paying the mortgage/rent on the FM Home that the ex wife and children still occupy as well as his own accommodation.

 

This is what society expects of the NRP but why is this so? If a father has worked hard and provided a roof over his family’s head and paid all of the household bills then why is it that he should move out when he and his partner split? And why is it also expected that any children of the family remain with their mother? Simply put, it’s because that is what society has come to expect. We will apologise for the few that this does not happen to, due to bereavement or desertion and abandonment but for the remaining NRP’s or future NRP’s please read on.
