My exH has lied to the Child Maintenance Service, telling them that he does not live in the UK and therefore “you can’t touch me”. He earns £150,000, earned from a large UK employer, and confirms to the UK courts he is firmly and fully resident in the UK. He is a UK-born, UK citizen. Yet still, this organisation, without any due diligence, propose to close the case, allow his children to go without much-needed financial support, and are essentially providing him with an additional vehicle by which to abuse and control me.
I am SO angry that my children will suffer, and be failed by this government agency, purely because an unscrupulous man told the simple lie “I don’t live in the UK” to a CMS call handler, who called him on his UK mobile number and noted there was no ‘overseas tone’ when multiple calls were placed to him.
Meanwhile he collects the children from school in the convertible BMW he bought for his girlfriend, or his two year old Jag, with a £22k Rolex on his wrist, and takes them back to a house he rents for £2000 a month.
While looking for some sort of mechanism to make him accountable, I found this. The many, many failings and shortcomings were laid bare by parliamentary members years ago, and nothing’s changed. The rights of children to support have been essentially stripped away by the government. The impact to vulnerable children has been measured and notified, and yet it is allowed to continue.

There must be some way we can take action, and affect meaningful change?
