Great story and well done for your grit and perseverance! I’m going to add a link to your post on our Success Stories thread, it’s really encouraging for other members going through it.
I will say though that the CMS are far from consistent in dealing with equal shared care/no maintenance cases. It’s not cut and dried for some members, who are continuously refused recognition of their shared care arrangement and have to pay maintenance regardless... we always urge members to keep fighting though, and stories like yours will spur them on I’m sure.
All the best
