Child maintenance variation form

Help - has anyone ever successfully done a CMS child maintenance form?
My ex runs his own ltd company, has a second home and yet pays based upon earning minimum wage. I asked for a variation a couple of months ago and explained the situation in writing, and they have finally sent me a form to fill in. I was expecting them to check his tax returns on HMRC and now I'm bemused.
I don't know what he earns in terms of dividends, and it seems crazy to guess. They also ask things like if he diverts money, and give examples like overpaying to a pension and keeping money in a business account. But I don't know what counts as overpaying to a pension - he used to pay £300 a month which is a lot given he currently only gives £130 a month for two children, but maybe its not legally seen as 'overpaying'. I have no idea what is in his business bank account.
Any tips on how on earth to fill in the form??
