Child matainence

[Janelou39Participant]

Hi everyone hope you’re all having a lovely weekend.

Just a question about child matainence.. my ex has been back in employment since may this year and initially he was working for an agency and an attachment on his earnings was issued, then i phoned for an update and they said he has changed his employment status most likely got a full time job with the company and a new attachment would be issued this was the beginning of October and i phoned for an update but they said that HMRC has yet to update the system so no new attachment has been issued. Surely they can do something? Im lost and unsure what i can do now?.

You cannot really do anything. If he has entered ft employment then he will eventually be liable for backdated maintenance payments.

I know it will be back dated but hes already £1000 plus in arrears from last year’s payments its just a nightmare how long things take with child matainence.
