I notice a lot of people mentioning writing to their MP, is it worth it considering where my case is??

There's really no point writing to your MP just now as the CC team haven't finished doing their stuff. S/He would pass it on to the CSA who would simply tell him/her that it was an active case and you should be more patient.

It's better to think of your MP as a sort of nuclear option. When everything has gone wrong, and there is an enormous bucketful of manure heading for the air circulator, that's when to activate him/her. Don't forget that they get lots of queries every week so yours needs to be special to get noticed. Don't get discouraged though, I went to mine and got a result.

Btw, at the moment, I reckon you'll get better results if you have an opposition MP. They're always on the lookout for something to beat the government with.

Now that is a very good point!

The courts will very rarely order you to share the travel unless you moved away. Is this the case ?

By the time he went to court, 8 years after we split, neither of us lived where we were when married.

Thanks for that, thats what I thought too. Mine is an opposition MP, so worth bearing in mind if needed

Do you know if your case has a Liability order granted against the arrears (prior to the nil assessment 2 years ago)?. If this is the case then Legal enforcment will handle the arrears once the case has gone to criminal compliance. If there are no arrears, and it is nill assessment, due to the fact he's refusing to supply info, they will back date the assessment and he will accrue arrears then. Legal automatically handle a case when there has been criminal compliance involvment.

Thank you very much for the info, no arrears before the Nil assessment.

To answer the op's post Criminal compliance how long? - 1st time with my case 2.5 years. 2nd time 1 year and counting.
Don't hold your breath!

With regard to the contact issues - I would write to your ex and say that you are suffering financial hardship and the costs of making your child available for contact are increasing the financial burden - contrary to the interests of your child.
State clearly that you do not seek to curtail or prevent his time with his child and that you fully support their relationship, however you cannot afford the associated costs.

Ask that he a) pay you the fuel costs or b) agree a handover point local to you.
You don't need to spend another £20k in costs, you could represent yourself and no judge will order contact arrangements that are causing genuine hardship to the resident parent.

If he takes you back to court, you can show via correspondence that you tried to agree alternate arrangements.

Hope this helps. Good luck

Thanks, makes my year with CC and the year before that with complex cases seem tame!
