Changing maintenance payments

I have no taxable income or benefits. I signed a Separation Agreement that stated I pay a set amount each month.

Am I able to change this, my income has gone down considerably in the last 6 months. The money I make is considered by HMRC to be proceeds from gambling hence why it’s not taxable.

If the agreement was signed by the courts then normally it can be challenged after a year by submitting a CMS claim. If you aren't earning as much then that seems a possible cause though obviously any CMS claim may result in you only having to pay the base amount so it becomes a moral decision ultimately about what you can/will pay but maybe worth speaking with a solicitor or someone with a greater grasp as it's an unusual situation with a theoretical zero "taxable income"

A blog relating to the previous scheme but may have some relevant links to read up on what the arguments can be

This is an agreement that hasn’t been ratified by any court, would that allow me to change it potentially

In which case yes you could just get CMS to do an assessment on your " nil income" and then it would be the other party to challenge I guess

If it's a private agreement you can end it at any time.

No it’s through a solicitor so it’s been drafted and witnessed
