I have just given up my job as my ex-wife and boyfriend (who has a history of violent crime) continue to seek confrontation at my place of work. I have written to them via the solicitor requesting that they stay away from the retail centre where I work. Because I find their continued presence both intimidating and stressful. I plan to have a a few month off work living on savings and support from my new partner. My question is... Will I have to continue to pay maintenance while unemployed as I left on my own accord? My understanding is that my payments will change to zero once csa (or whatever they are called these days) complete their calculation.
Hi and welcome to the forum
You can find details here of what you should have to pay

If you haven't already, I would advise logging this with the police on 101.
Notify the CSA immediately as they will only calculate the new rate from the date they are told about it.
