Honestly I have no idea what this agency is set up to do nor any idea why people are forced into the CMS system 🤣
So I divorced in 2013 leaving an abusive marriage. And got a court order for maintenance. (Decided during meditation that was the quickest, safest and cheapest way to leave - so I left with very little)
But he didn’t pay child maintenance so eventually in October 2017 I tried to enforce which resulted in more abuse to both myself and DC. In early 2018,ex-h applies to the CMS. The effect - a five figure sum owed written off. When they finally calculate his liability they then say that despite his 6 figure salary (as self-employed they didn’t have to take into account dividend income) I could receive £17.50 per week.
My MP gets involved and they will take into account dividend income (six months later).
And hence owed sums of high four figure sum payable but he has 12 months to make up. ( Albeit that by now my credit rating is already affected as I’ve missed a mortgage payment and mortgage payments higher as moved into variable rate from fixed rate and can’t refix as in an arrear).
It goes on and on.
And possession order on the house and other payments not made.
Roll forward to now - no payments for so long. Credit rating dropped by nearly 700 points.
I haven’t even bothered to contact them. They do nothing and enforce nothing. He hardly sees my youngest and hasn’t seen my eldest in 2.5 years. But according to CMS they have regular stays unless I can prove otherwise.
Since January multiple letters from CMS, he should pay £782per month, he should pay nothing and I owe him?😂 (for what - he pays nothing and doesn’t have the kids). Apparently he has the kids every week per CMS letter today. And another letter today states that he should pay £23 between now and next review date (Feb 22).
To write it all on here would be endless but I’m slightly at a loss as to what this organisation is for other than to continue the enablement of financial abuse.
