Hi, this is my first post and I’m hoping that someone might be able to share their experience.
I contacted CMS over a year ago when my ex had missed 17 months of the informal child maintenance agreement we had.
I am getting nowhere. My ex was on a substantial salary, so the initial maintenance calculation was a significant one. He’s a financial advisor and he then went self employed. His assessed monthly contribution went from several hundred pounds to zero. I didn’t get anything. 15 months later, CMS have enforced nothing. I asked to go collect & pay, but was told that as he didn’t want to do that, they wouldn’t enforce it. I work full time, don’t claim any benefits and now face having to sell my house to make ends meet. How can this be right? It is so frustrating. He lives in a house that is easily worth 3 times mine & won’t even send her a Christmas card.
