Does my ex need to know my address?

[TeddyBeans]

Ex left in August and my landlord has recently served notice. Ex is demanding I tell him where I'm moving to - I don't even know yet! - and I've tried finding out whether I'm legally obliged to tell him my new address when I have it or not to no avail.

My son is always at my mum's house for pick ups and drop offs so as long as he knows where he's getting him from does he really need to know exactly where I live? He lives with his mum and probably won't move for a while but when/if he does I'm not fussed about knowing where he lives as long as my son is looked after while he's with him.

Also just to tack on - he's said CAB have told him if I'm 'financially stable' he doesn't need to pay as much child maintenance? Does that sound like legit CAB advice?

He's paying above CSA amount at the moment but it's done on good will and I'd rather not have to go through the whole process if I can avoid it. He wants to drop it to what the calculator worked out he should pay (£92 a month) based on him earning £800 a month which is what he earned when he left. I think he's picked up more hours now so I don't know what the calculator would show now.

Just looking for advice please

That is not cab advice! Maintenance is based on the paying parent income not the receiving parent income. You do not have to give him your address either . I think you should be wary he might stop paying child maintenance but cms can take direct payments, cms have access to inland revenue income if he wants to go down that road. I take it the breakup wasn’t good !

Well if there is no history of violence/stalking then why wouldn’t you let him know where his son lives?
Or do you not want to know where he will live when he moves from his mums.

Ex knows what town he's living in and he knows where he'll be when it's his time to get him. The rest of the time he doesn't give a shit about him, doesn't ask after him, etc.
Ex has started asking mutual friends about me (not his son) and it's looking like he's starting to obsess over what I'm doing. I've recently got a job and he thinks he's entitled to know where I work, what hours I do, how much I get paid etc.

I don't think he wants to know for legitimate reasons

No, unless it’s court ordered, he doesn’t need to know.

He has no legal right to know where you live.

He will continue picking your son up for contact from the same venue so it’s none of his business.

I would seriously set up a claim thro CMS for child maintenance. Then he can’t mess you around.

He has no legal right to know however bare in mind. When he eventually gets a place of his own.. He doesn't have to let you know his address either..

I did put in my OP that I'm not worried about knowing where he lives if/when he moves

He has no legal right to know. Just like you dont need to know where he is. As long as he is able to collect and drop off the child to somewhere mutually agreed then he doesn't need to know.

Regarding maintenance, its nothing to do with how much you earn. He's currently paying over the calculation but he doesn't need to and can stop anytime. He's only legally required to pay what CMS tell him too. But if you think he's earning more than when you split and he's not showing you any evidence then a private arrangement won't work in the long term. Just call CMS and open a case with them; they will handle all the checks and make sure it's all kept correct

Sorry didn't see that bit in your OP..
