Hi all,
Have just kicked off the tribunal process so expecting a long wait. Currently paying but am fighting for equal, as have my 2 sons equally overnight and for care during the week. Ex receives child benefit and there's no arrangement order in place.
What I am concerned about is that whilst the effective decision date is recent, the tribunal may take 1+ years to arrive.
Once the tribunal makes a decision (i.e Reg 50 or Band D), is there any safeguards in place stopping ex ringing CMS the next day and making false claims again, and over-riding the tribunal decision?
Thanks, Mike
Hi,
You could ring CMS to let them know about pending tribunal.
I recommend you join this support group for paying parents:

Thanks, that channel is really useful.
What I'm specifically asking - is a tribunals decision final? So let's say a court decides it's 3/7 overnights in January 2025. Could the receiving parent ring up the CMS afterwards in February 2025 and challenge that it's now changed to 2/7, and try to overturn the tribunal?
