Hiding income

My daughter's father is pretty wealthy. He recently moved to the countryside far from our daughter's school and successfully applied to reduce his maintenance to cover increase in travel costs.

The amount of maintenance he pays is negligible considering he refuses to pay for daughter's clothes, school trips, passports etc saying maintenance needs to cover everything.

I recently found out from a friend of a friend who is still in touch with him that he actually works as a consultant and property landlord of multiple properties as well as his PAYE income. His maintenance is only based on PAYE. Ive struggled financially since we split and particularly at the moment given increases in costs whilst he reduces maintenance.

I've had a look on companies House and can see multiple companies in his name. The problem is there's no company accounts published until next year. I'd like to go to the CMS but Im worried that if he's contacted by the CMS his accountant will be able to hide income.

Should I wait until his company accounts are published online?

I would inform CMS via the app.

I don't really know much about child maintenance and the law etc, but it sounds like - if you think he's the type of person to try to hide stuff to reduce the amount of money he needs to pay - you would probably be best to get / wait for proof that he has additional income before bringing it up ..
