Child maintenance tribunal help

Hi so my ex has been happy recieving a payment set up between us for the last 13 years, there is a court order in place for every tuesday thursday and every other weekend, his mum decided she would change the order when he was 6 as it was unfair me dropping him back at 7am before work as he was tired at school and he would come every weekend instead, i told the cms he comes every weekend and sent the court order to them, they have took the court order and arranged a payment plan based on that, since the ex went to the cms she has stopped him coming every weekend and it is now every other, she completed a mandatory reconsideration and said its 1 night every week instead of 2 nights every week, i disagreed so again the cms went alpng with the court order and left the payment the same, the ex has now appealed the decision.

Does anyone have any advice on what could happen at the tribunal? Or what im best to do as the ex has stopped contact, i do have a log of all the days hes come over the last few years, but unsure if they will take that as it could be made up, the only person that is affected by this is my son as hes now getting upset that his mum wont let him come as much as he was.

 

Sorry for the full story just dont know how to best deal with this situation, thanks in advance.

hi,

what usually happens is if your seeing child less than the court ordered time, then CMS would accept that change. they would most likely tell you to get an updated court order i.e. you apply for enforcement and return to court.

I recommend you join this support group for paying parents:
