Ex pays randomly and at much lower rate than CMS calculator suggests he should. I now know a rough wage for him as the company he works for recently put up a job advert for the same role. He's paid the same rate for 5 years with no rise despite bragging over having higher paid jobs.
He now works on a self employed basis but is contracted to do this work by a company rather than working for solely himself.
He's always told me that I would screw myself over if I was to aply via CMS and I have never perused it because of this.
Now that he is working for a company would there be a reliable record of the amount he is being paid? So would CMS now be a viable option or is it better to continue getting minimal (but more than I would if he managed to hide most of his earnings from CMS) money at random and trying to arrange finances without it and treating it as a bonus if it gets there on time to help with costs?
For 11 months he has not paid on a certain date. He will generally pay late but has also paid early on 2 occasions. I am having to move money around constantly to try and cover until he decides to pay. He missed one month entirely but says my calculations are out. I feel he's using this to control me, I don't want to ask him for money again, there is a long history of control and I want to break this now having very minimal contact with him and want all matters resolved.
