How can I find out Exh salary?

[dontwannamakeitworse]

I'm hoping someone can help. My exh has recently accepted a job that will mean him moving 400 miles away. I know the salary range of the job but he wont tell me what it is - he will just 'pay what he has to' in terms of maintenance. I haven't gone to the CMO before because he's never earnt much. But this will be a significant salary, and seeing as I will now have the children full time, I would like to know what his earnings are - I don't trust him to be honest.... any ideas? or do I have to go thru CMO?
Thanks

Look up the job ad?

it only gives a salary range

let the cms deal with it....

i'm trying to avoid the cms...

Is it a civil service or private role?

If he won't tell you then there is no legal way of you finding out. Let cms deal with it.

its private - for a large organisation

Then unless you know someone unscrupulous in their HR dept, there is no way of knowing. Let CMS deal with it.

thanks... thought it was a long shot

You can contact a recruitment agent who might well have a good idea within the band where he might be.

Also have you a final "consent order" sealed by the court dealing with the finances on the divorce? If not you can apply for that and as part of that process he MUST disclose his salary.

I thought the same as Janet - if you had a solicitor to help you with your divorce, then contact them.

You could ask for proof of his income and say that if he doesn't provide it, you will ask the CMS to obtain the figure. Could be enough of a threat for him to disclose the information.

I have just done CMS - if he's got a job it's pretty straightforward. Also it only costs £20 then they will check his income every year. And otherwise I wouldn't have a hope in hell's chance of finding out about pay increases. Why are you so keen to avoid them?

YOu have to give them ( CMS) some of what is paid under the new system as does the other partner so it's not as same as it used to be in terms of whether it's worth using them or not these days.

No, you only have to pay the ongoing charge with the CMS if you're on their "collect and pay" service (essentially if the NRP won't pay). This increases the NRPs charge by 20% and the RP loses 4%.

CMS claims starts on Direct Pay which is essentially the same as a Family Based Arrangement but with them calculating the amount and making sure the NRP pays. If the NRP doesn't make a Direct Pay payment, they would consider switching to Collect and Pay.

And the charges are much more costly for the paying parent than the receiving parent.

I went through the CMS a and it was so easy, they were really helpful.

Have someone call him, pretending to be a headhunter. One of the questions he will expect to be asked is "What is your current salary?".
