Welcome to today's video. What I like to do today is talk about what happens when a CMS case is opened, when there's already some sort of private arrangement in place.

So you're probably aware within the UK there's several different ways of dealing with child maintenance either through some sort Court Arrangements usually as part of a divorce consent order or maybe privately. I think something like 40% of relationships, post separation, maintenance is dealt with by individuals direct. In some cases, maintenance isn't paid at all, because couples agree to do, (Child support), or look after the children and pay for the children in their own time .

But of course sometimes that doesn't quite happen and sometimes cases are open but with the Child Maintenance Service. Now the Child Maintenance Service is a government Department. It is not a company, it is a part of the Department of Work and Pensions, and it has various powers given it to it under the regulations so if you receive a letter from the child maintenance service it's not an option or extraer okay it's something that you need to look at read okay and decide what you're going to do now what you what I recommend you do do is you contact the CMS within the first 14 days and let them know your circumstances tell them if you have the children three nights per week or one night a week update that because the chances are most cases seem to be open by default with no shared care at all okay check the earnings figure that they've got for you because the earnings figure should be your previous full tax year okay though occasionally it will be the year before or maybe the year before that it just depends on where you are in the tax cycle for example if you do self assessment most people wait until almost the 31st of January to do their self assessment.

Whereas if you are PAYE, they could use you know the the the figures from July because the tax year ends in April but the information are made available to from hyc around about July each year okay now what happens next is in the first 14 days you got a chance to ring the CMS up and you can make this work for yourself so you can tell say to them I want to pay every week I want to pay every month you can say which day of the month or which day of the week which will make life a lot easier and I normally recommend that you arrange for payment to be done on payday.
