How is he paying her now, in cash, cheque.

All he has to do if in cheque for is to write her name on it and then put 'child costs' or some other wording.
I would have thought he should have done this without being prompted. Its then legal and above board and
she wouldnt be able to dispute this.

dangerously false advice there.

paying by cheque is nowhere near enough proof of CS payments.

a SO to her bank clearly labelled "child maintainence" used to be proof enough, but under the new shake up, in their infinite wisdom they are just going to take the PWC's word for it. (cos they NEVER lie!)

if she wont play ball and do it officailly, then stop paying and put the money aside.

i would also work out what 15% of his net income is, as if it is less than he is paying her now, then you may as well stop payments and she'll be forced to use the CSA. (last resort that one though!)

OP I agree with dutr on this, don't get involved as it will probably end with you as the scapegoat for anything that goes wrong.

CSA pass on all of the money, if you go that route, and you can go on the website to calculate how much he would pay.

You cannot force her to give bank details, and if she chooses to go to the CSA because he won't pay her cash, there is not a lot you can do. TBH if my NRP's wife was asking for my bank details she would get told to sugar right off.
