How do I prove he is depriving himself of income?

No it probably isn't. But "on paper" that is exactly what he is - an employee! The HMRC, CSA and any other alphabet soup, has to go on what is down on paper. They cannot work on "maybes. I'd just get on with your life, and forget all about what he has or is doing. It'll just chew you up, and there is sod all you can do about it. If you can speak to him, could you suggest he opens an account for the kids, that way at least, the kids can get some benefit from him.

They do already get benefit from him as he is paying £68 per week.

On paper I know he is not a director. But he is doing the function as a director, he decides how the company moves forward, negotiates building contracts and directs future expansion plans. But he is not being paid, instead its his GF that takes the income on his behalf, and he benefits through her.

If you phone the company on the pretext of instructing them to build a supermarket or a school, its my ex you speak to. He will commission his GF to design it and draw the building plans once the contracts are exchanged. He does the role of his ex employer and thats hardly the role of a £15k a year employee.

It doesn't need a director to run a company. That is the role of a manager and his staff.

So the ex owner was hands on. This does not mean that the director's role is to deal with all orders, it's just something that he wanted to do. he was probably doing because that is the way that he worked from when the business was a one man band.
