Advice please re leaving employment

Blimey1

Please could anyone advise me where I stand? I live with my g/f who has no children and who owns her own house. She is in receipt of an ill health pension.
I am on CSA2 and am due to carry on for a few more years yet. I am currently in full time employment but we want to upsticks and relocate some distance away which means I will have to give up my present job voluntarily. Financially we will scrape by initially, but the intention is that I will seek new employment once we are re-established.
Is this likely to cause any issues with the CSA? Would re-locating and being temporarily unemployed in their eyes constitute trying to evade CSA? We would not be able to pay what I currently pay if I have no income for a short while. Would be very grateful for advice as I don't want to be prevented from starting afresh just because of what the CSA 'might' think

Perhaps you could ask them, nobody likes to get less , so your choice may not be a popular one in the interim, however you only get one life, so make best of it that you can.

Thanks for your reply. I'm too nervous to ask to be honest, because if they say 'no sorry, that constitutes evading payments' that'll be it. We won't be able to do it.
Unfortunately I have zero relationship with the ex who has repeatedly and relentlessly blocked contact, but I have no wish to avoid paying for my daughter. I simply want to be able to take a change of direction and start again. The problem is there are no guarantees of my finding an equally well paid job (or even a job come to that), but me and my g/f very much want the life change

In all honesty they can't say no, it's a change of your circumstance and in this economic climate , jobs are not easy, if you earn little they can only go on that, thems am the rules.

You would be reassessed based on your current income (which will be zero, at least initially). They wouldn't consider this evading payments.

They'll ask you how you're intending to support yourself during this time frame - will you be claiming JSA? I'd guess that you'll not be able to initially due to voluntarily leaving work.
