Offshore workers and CS obligation...

Hi, I am desperate for advice on this as the CSA can't give me an answer and I am at my wits end.
Basically the ex has been working offshore for a while and now claims that he has moved jobs and is working for an offshore company in Singapore, spending more than 183 days overseas and has been 'advised' by the CSA that he is no longer under any obligation to pay maintenance?!'
This company is also based in Aberdeen so I am reluctant to believe he is no longer paid by bacs and the CSA have continued to collect money by deduction of pay since said job move.
The ex has basically demanded that I either tell the CSA we have come to a private arrangement and he will transfer money each month or he will just stop paying. He also wants to DROP monthly payments to £120 from £240 and he is averaging around £60k p/a.
The CSA deny ever telling him such thing and have told me there has been no change in his work place on his file and that I should just hang fire for a few weeks and see what happens...
The whole thing just reeks of his worry about ever having to pay more money to his child now his earnings have dramatically increased. If he had just asked for private arrangement at the current rate of CSA there would have been no issue but his bully boy tactics have really peed me off :mad:
Any advice is much appreciated!

Ignore him and listen to the CSA. If they are still collecting payment direct from his wages then I dont see what the issue is?0

You know him best, but from what you say he doesn't sound like someone who can be trusted to keep to a private agreement. Tell him that you will keep things as they are until CSA inform you that they can no longer deal with the case.0
