Anyone here pay CSA or know about it and able to offer any advice?

What it is is I split up with her January 05 and we agreed custody and payment etc but for the last 12 or so months I've only been seeing my son once a month instead of the every other weekend we had agreed despite me paying on time every month.

For the first 8 months I was paying £100 support and £250 towards the mortgage,she then took over the house with her new fella and since then I have payed her £50 a week for one child.Working the money out I have payed is £2986 for support and £2500 for the mortgage plus £800 for an overdraft on a joint bank account meaning I've payed nearly £6300 in 18 months which is surely too much isnt it

So after all that this month I payed her half the money explaining about the situation with the access and saying I've been paying too much and shes come back saying about going to the CSA and getting more money.now I dont have a problem paying for my son but what I do have a problem is paying £350 a month which is basically paying her mortgage.

Now to the point if she goes to the CSA do they take into account my current financial outgoing ie loans etc and do they take into account any money already paid to her even if it is too much

Finally whats the next step regarding access? Ive been told you get a solicitor each to try and sort out access before it goes to court

Any help would be great if you can be arsed reading it as its doing my fucking nut in
