Financial Disclosure

I was divorced over 3 years ago. I have a current dispute with my ex. He is demanding to see all my bank statements. He is very controlling. He has no need to see my bank accounts, but unless I show them to him he is refusing to cooperate with the request I have asked of him, which is make a contribution towards his children. What should I do? Thank you

Use the child maintenance Service. Start here:https://www.gov.uk/child-maintenance-service
Good luck!

Child maintenance is a statutory requirement (legal) and is based on the income of the non resident parent.

There is no need for him to see your bank statements but the Child Maintenance Service will want to know about his finances.

If you are looking to have a permanent legally binding financial settlement after divorce, this is separate from child maintenance. As part of the financial disclosure process you each may well be asked for bank statements.

Thank you for your reply. I have a court order with a variation sat on top that pays 5p/year maintenance. I understand the CMS bases maintenance on PAYE which automatically is given to them by HMRC. My ex has earned a 6-figure sum each year for the last two years, but it is not PAYE. Rather than go back to court to vary, I've sent the CMS the last two years tax returns which show the 6-figure amounts earned. Can they backdate as he failed to disclose? He made the application to vary to the family court, sought a nil band assessment from the CMS and failed to show his tax returns to me, despite this being an undertaking he gave to the court. I finally managed to get the tax returns by applying to court to see them. I have been left financially broken, he has secured himself financially. I'm hoping this can be corrected though the CMS, would I be correct in thinking this?
