CSA and second casual job

Options
I’ve been paying £350 consistently for almost 4 years And never once missed a payment.  I even had to take a second job to survive and I’ve previously worked with step change to arrange my financial hardship. 
My oldest daughter is almost 19 and no longer in college and I helped her set up universal credit (her entitlement) since then her mother decided to go down the CMS route !!! They claim there now gonna take from my 2 jobs. I informed them that my second job is on a casual basis and not guaranteed hours but yet they have still continued to complete an assessment on something that is not set in stone and they want me to pay still. One week I might not get any hours at all !! but there still gonna make me pay. I don’t mind paying from my full time 40 hour contract job but why they penalise me from my Second job that’s not guaranteed and the money I do earn is for my debt that Step change arranged. 
Can CMS do this ?? It just doesn’t appear fair. Please help someone

    They dont 'take' from anything if you pay voluntarily. 

    You pay on your gross annual income, doesnt matter if it's 1 job, or 7. So obviously it's fair

    If she has finished college then her mum isnt entitled to child benefit anymore. If she isnt entitled to that then she isnt entitled to maintenance either.
