I had a divorce court order by the court in Holborn in London - it was stamped January 2011. The CMS has contacted me to say my ex has contacted them and asked them to recalculate. They said they can take over after a year and one day of the court ruling. I explained this was unfair as it was agreed in court. Circumstances…

CSA Wrong Calculations
Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any advice. I'm currently dealing with CMS regarding my arrears. I discovered today that they've worked out my arrears on the basis that last year I made £58,000 (this is the figure they got from HMRC based on my earnings in 2016). Last year I took a few months out of work and actually…

Arrears written off
I have just had a letter from the CMS that they have written off debt owed to me. Are they able to do this without first consulting me to find out my wishes?

Advise please on CSA case
Good afternoon, Could I please ask for a little bit of advise. My ex has been paying me monthly for years for two children ( below £100 a month ) but worked self employed for his brother.

Historic debt
Hi I received a letter this morning from CSA telling me that money owing to me had been written off as it was not possible to recover the debt. My daughter is now an adult but when she was younger I had to take out loans etc to compensate for not getting any child support. I am therefore much poorer now in my retirement…

CSM and fraud investigation
I have been fighting since 2016 to get child support off my child’s “father” he has been working and claiming (he has custody of another child from a previous relationship) and every time I’ve asked CSM to do a benefit check, they say they have and he isn’t getting anything! Anyway, it would seem that NOT ONE OF THEM HAVE…

I am trying to understand what income is included when applying for 30 hours childcare. I know any pension contributions are NOT included.
