I have been paying the agreed amount of child support through CMS for the past 7 years. I have now received a letter from CMS stating my ex no longer wants to use the CMS service for payments. I payed my ex the usual amount by direct debit today but received a text stating she no longer wants to receive any payments from me and wants to send the amount back to me. I'm concerned if I stop paying it will come back to bite me in future if she decides to ask for back payments from when I stopped paying. Any advice? Should I continue paying her the amount I have been paying, or stop the payments as she's requested? Not sure where I would stand legally if she asked for back payments in years to come..
