Hi,
Please advise me & share your stories of the CMS / child maintenance.
Divorced fuckwit tight as a knat's whatsits exh last November. Lived separately since last Easter. Two DC in primary school. At mediation in Dec he was told he MUST pay cm, and solicitor worked it out there and then based on his salary as £240.
Following my phone calls chasing it early Jan he suggested paying £175, I just laughed & said no way. He said if it were less than recommended he'd contribute to school & activity costs. I insisted minimum £50 pw, & he finally paid first payment in mid Jan.
Nothing on Feb 1st. I've asked him for contribution for two trips & two activities but yesterday he outright refused. So I said ok, I'll use CMS.
Today I get a txt saying he'll pay what mediation recommended after all, but not appeared in my account yet.
Your advice? Is CMS a good thing or a nightmare? I'm suspicious that he will have a salary increase and I'll never know (that's if he told the mediator the truth in the first place - he is a liar).
Thank you!!
