DH has been paying his ex for the last 10+ years through CSA without any problems.
We had a letter to say the arrangement was coming to an end so asked ex what she wanted to do. She said she'd look into it.
Got another reminder; wrote to ex suggesting a family-based arrangement paying the CSA amount so nobody has to pay application fees or extra money to CMS.
Have heard nothing. Last payment goes out this coming Friday. Assume it doesn't get to ex that day but probably not longer than a week's delay? And then she'll not have the money coming in.
DH quite concerned - she has MH issues, a chaotic lifestyle, super-disorganised etc. Her family will help her out but obviously DH wants to support his son - but also really doesn't want to give her cash. If she has applied to the CMS without telling him (don't think she has) how long would it take them to sort it out?
If she hasn't - what should he do?
