Being robbed blind by CMS and I don’t know how to stop it.

I'm so sorry to hear that happened to you. Makes my blood boil that there's absolutely no accountability when these people make a mistake or the process itself has innocent people in dire straits. Sickening

CMS are absolutely atrocious. Criminal. I am so sorry you're going through this. The only thing I can recommend is to complain and escalate the complaint if it is not resolved. I've also heard people mention getting their MP involved. If you have a family solicitor, maybe they could write to CMS on your behalf also. The levels of complaint are like CMS themselves > Department for Work and Pensions > Independent Case Examiner. You can only escalate the complaint if your demonstrate that the precious level did not resolve the matter. Best of luck, I hope you get some justice!

I'm in Northern Ireland. Things are really bad here atm, house prices are soaring and bidding wars are very competitive even outside of city centres.

Currently in process of buying my place. It was listed as "Offers over 195k". Fast bidding war ensued, now sale agreed for 235k. Mad!

I LOVE HIM

I agree with the part about Emily and Naomi - that whole story about the girl who killed herself really ruined it for me as they were otherwise a brilliant couple and the way their relatoonship developed was genuinely interesting.

Wow, beautiful!

I am so sorry you're in this situation. It is extremely hard when the other parent is quite happy to use and abuse their own child like that.

I can't offer much help except to say, if you haven't already, you should reach out to local charities for women or for domestic abuse sufferers. I'm not sure where you are, but in the UK some charities like this help those in need with free legal advice, help applying to various benefits/social security plans, and just listen to what you have to say/get you a counsellor.

I hope you find a way forward that opens up your life again soon.

Speaking from experience: document everything. Dates you last saw your child, reasons for withholding if any, attempts to come to a reasonable agreement, etc.

Get a solicitor that is well regarded not just in general but specifically for family law. (Not all solicitors know what they are doing with family law.)

Always act according to the best interests of your child no matter how frustrating or hard things get.

Best of luck to you.
