To not expect backlash when I go via CSA rather than private arrangement?

Have had a private arrangement a few years now, I know that ex’s salary has gone up twice in the past year and only now have a mentioned this. He plucked an amount out of the air so I’ve gone down the CSA route so that I don’t have to have this conversation each year. He’s kicked, started bringing other stuff up and inferring he “knows stuff” .
Why? It’s like he think I’m out pissing up his CSA, not that in goes towards everything that keeps my child houses and fed.

Now I’m doubting that I should have brought it up whilst also worrying how he’s now guna be an absolute d*ck every time I see him! it’s like he can still control me now, through fear!

Do you need to see him? Just mute his notifications for texts and inform him he will only contact you via a parenting app. You don't need to give him an audience.

Unfortunately yes, at drop off, DD is only 3
