Is this criminally fraudulent?

My DW's ex has just gone to the CSA to arrange to make payments. They already have an agreement through the consent order based on his income from the divorce 4 years ago. On producing his P60 as per the consent order and a solicitors letter it arrived (now 11 months out of date) his gross pay had doubled to around 200k. Along with the P60 he announced that he was going self employed and that salary figure was irrelevant and she should expect a large drop in maintenance.
He has registered a company with him listed as the director. Although we know he is still working at the same company in the same role presumably as a contractor now as opposed to employee and is just routing his pay through his new company. The other possible complication is that he works mostly in Europe (living in uk) possibly paid in euros to a European bank.
Any thoughts?

Usually people get out of paying by doing what he has done so don't hold your breath (as a full time working mother who paid my ex a lot and whose ex pays nothing some of us women just have to work fulltime and fund the children ourselves - any way it's huge fun to out earn men).

I believe the agency will investigate if they believe that the NRP's salary does not match a much swisher lifestyle but they seem pretty toothless about it. It happens a lot, how the (mostly) men who do this can live themselves, I do not know.

He will probably pay himself through dividends. These are not normally included in a CSA calculation but can be taken into account if the RP raises it.
