My wife left me for another man who was very well off.

I was left with debts we had both incurred and had to pay them to keep the bailiffs away.

She had no outgoings and a full-time job. But the CSA had no interest in how much this man owned and I was forced to pay more than £400 a month for one child.

I found it very difficult to make both ends meet. It's not only women who are hard done by when a marriage ends (Letters, March 21).

Fathers have a duty to help financially towards the upkeep of their children and with this new legislation, they can live their lives too.
