Anyone had dealings with the Chid Maintenance?
The kid's father works as a car salesman. According to the hmrc, his earnings for last year, would have been I would be entitled to £422 per month. But the snake has now changed his contract, all the commission is now paid, in one lump in December. Which now means his payslips, for the rest of the year just shows his basic wage, hence my payment has gone down to 40 quid per week. Child Maintenance said, there is nothing they can do. There must be 1000's of people not getting a fair deal. Any suggestions?

    There are 1000s not getting a fair deal whether they are PWcs or NRPs, somrthing is better than nothing though, that's one of the penalties of failed relationships where children are involved.:(
  • I would contact the CMS and apply for a variation based on the commission. If you are certain of the time of the year this is paid you could wait for the commission to be paid then apply for the variation. But I will warn you my experience of the CMS is that they are very slow! If they uphold their decision you will need to appeal and take the matter to the appeals tribunal. I am currently going through this process myself and so far has taken 12 months no hearing yet! Hope that helps
