answer text <p>Where there has been a reported change in Paying Parents income which exceeds the 25% tolerance, the first step we would take is to obtain evidence to verify the income. Dependant on how the change is reported, this could be via the employer, receiving parent, HMRC or the Paying Parent. Where an income change is proven, the next step would be to complete a reassessment/supersession and pursue any arrears payments with the Paying Parent. All steps /actions will be specific to the detail of the case. Ultimately where there is evidence of criminal activity CMG can pursue a criminal prosecution through the CPS.</p> more like this
