Should I go to CMS when my ex is avoiding child maintenance?

I’m going through a break up with the father of my child, he is struggling to understand the concept of paying child maintenance and makes comments like why don’t you just work another day or if I am fully booked in ( I work freelance) he says when are you gonna pay me. I really wanted to try to agree on things together, but starting to feel like maybe I need to go to CMS as I don’t think he takes me seriously, I feel a little bit stuck. He’s also a lawyer but claims he has no money, I know life’s expensive but we managed when we were together? I was just wondering if anyone’s had a similar experience and how they managed it?
