CM payments, second child in nrp home

As this is the CSA, not the CMS, surely he is obliged to notify a change in income?

I would have thought that too, I mean he was more than happy to reduce my payments when his first child arrived , the lady on the phone didn't say anything him having to report a change in circumstances with regards to promotion/pay increase, he should have rung them to tell them he'd had a second baby and moved house, but he didn't do either of those!
I'll wait to get the letter and maybe give them another call, but not sure I really want to rock the boat any more than I have to.

No if you read it there are two lists SHOULD report and MUST report. Only the MUST report section, which admittedly has grown over the years, carries a legal obligation to inform.

whatever the case, the new calculation has come and and he's not happy about it! still waiting on a letter from them before I ring back.
He didn't tell them he'd moved or had a second baby, not sure what difference it makes as I don't know how they'd penalise him for that?!

They will not penalise him, they will just make a new assessment based on his present income and circumstances.

according to the information booklet, he can be taken to court and fined up to £1000.
