Hello,

There is a family based arrangement for paying CM, calculated on the basis of ex's base salary of approx. £140K. I used to receive £780 a month for two children. There is a nominal SM awarded by the court as well, as the children are of pre-school age.
Now ex has informed me that he had a lifestyle change and is currently working as a part-time zero-hours catering staff, and his earnings are below the CM threshold, so he is not going to pay CM anymore.
I believe this to be untrue as the catering agency he claims to be working for is owned by his friend, and by indirect evidence I believe that he does not live in the UK (his Linkedin profile shows him currently employed in a senior position overseas, and previously was working in another country abroad too). His contact with the children is sporadic, a couple of hours every quarter.

Is there a way I can return to court and ask to impute his earnings based on his career (20+ years in the City), and the implausibility of him now washing dishes for the minimum wage?
