Child Maintenance Review

Posts: 3 Newbie

Hi,
I'm posting to ask a question for a friend. She has been divorced for 10 years, and the ex pays £280 a month for 2 children . This amount was based on him taking the kids 2 days a week, something they haven't done in a long time. Even with this, he refuses to increase his payments,
He is earning we believe £45k plus and has a nice company car and based upon, so if we do a review online it comes out for more than this.
Diplomacy hasn't worked and after 3 years of trying for an increase, another approach is needed.
How would people suggest approaching this?
Thanks

There is always the risk that the payments will be reduced.
