I (35F) split up with my ex just over a year ago. We had some issues with getting him to provide for our son (now 8). His parents were very much interested in drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I made an application through the official \u201cChild Maintenance Service\u201d, he received a schedule listing his monthly payments. His parents contacted me, asking me to agree to an unofficial payment plan because the CMS amount was too high. They claimed that agreeing to a lower amount between us was better than not receiving a single penny from CMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I refused, deciding that having this agreement on paper and not receiving it would still be better than maybe getting something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My ex didn\u2019t make a single payment and lost his job shortly after. His child maintenance amount was recalculated, granting him payments of \u00a37-ish\/week, which he still refused to pay, which then caused the CMS to collect the money themselves and charge him (and me) some extra fees for the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His parents were very much aware of it and complained about it, especially about the fees [he gets charged 20%] and about the arrears that are still on the account.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
