Ex pays £13.44 a fortnight for 4 kids Hmm anyway today when checking my account i noticed that there was no payment (due today) on further investigation turns out he hasnt paid in a month! call cms who at first claim its montly payments thats why i havent received it it definitely isnt its every other week, weird that they couldnt tell that on the system, anyway when i prove that they decide to investigate it further and it turns out ex has stopped claiming benefits but theyve only realised that when i called, so now he is not claiming benefits or working and there is nothing the can be bothered to do! i dont understand how cms doesnt have more powers, especially as its a paid for service.

If he has no income at all where are they supposed to take it from? The issue is with him not CMS , he's clearly working cash in hand and avoiding paying for his children £13 a fortnight is an insult

I reckon he is working though, he cant live on fresh air, i expect them to investigate.

If he has no income not even benefits then there’s not really anything they can take unfortunately

I completely agree that it’s shit that men can get away with not supporting kids they helped create, and I would absolutely support it being a criminal offence and giving more powers to CMS in cases were the deadbeat fathers are doing everything they can to avoid paying, such as seizing assets, making it impossible to get loans l, finance deals or mortgage while they owe child support etc

The problem here is that he is a shit father and an abhorent human being!
