hi,
CMS state they accept formal and informal evidence of arrangements. but often they insist on seeing a court order to confirm the arrangements. if your able to get a consent/court order that states that children live with both parents, and there is equal day to day care of children, then this should be enough for CMS to decide that you no longer have to pay maintenance. some people have had to go as far as taking it to a tribunal to sort out.Β Would recommend this FB group, CMS support for non-resident parentsΒ https://www.facebook.com/groups/239699060076601
