If you do hire a professional, we'd be interested on here to know how you get on. It also might be worth asking CMS exactly what proof they would require, and ideally get that in writing from them.
Thank you all, for your words of advice - I have established a few things, some surprising, but only word of mouth, which I dont think the CSA would entertain...
Apparently they are operating the well known scam of enrolling on a course, attending for a few weeks then dropping out.. my daughter enrolled last September and stopped going in October. She did this in the previous year also.
More surprisingly, I was sent a screen shot taken recently from her Facebook page, showing a picture of her first 12 week scan, so baby on the way at 17..
It may seem cold of me, but I am fully expecting this to be the next step in the rinsing process.
I am considering talking to a solicitor, and am trying to find one who specialises in supporting fathers with CSA appeals, would anyone know if such a person exists?
After being taken for a ride for so many years this is a matter of principle....
I don't know of any to hand, but I would add a word of warning, that your matter of principle - however understandable - could end up costing you more than the potential maintenance if you win, and make it even worse for you if you don't.
