About this app

Challenging the Child Maintenance Service? Don't go in with scraps of paper and half-remembered dates.

CDA – Child Maintenance Dispute Assistant – helps you keep the records the CMS actually looks at, and turns them into clear letters and one organised dispute pack when you need to challenge a decision, report a change or make a complaint.

WHEN IT MATTERS, YOUR RECORDS ARE READY
• Nights – CMS works out shared care by nights, so log every night the children stay with you, in seconds
• Payments – what was due, what arrived, and exactly what's missing
• Call log – who you spoke to at the CMS, when, and what they said
• Calendar and reminders, so deadlines and calls don't slip past
• Case Manager – letters, decisions and documents kept together, not lost in a drawer

PUT YOUR CASE CLEARLY
• Ready-made letters to the CMS, filled in with your details
• A case timeline of everything in order, with shared-care band changes marked
• The CMS dispute pack – one PDF with a cover page, your statement, an index and the records and documents you choose. Clear, organised, easy for someone else to follow.

FREE FOR EVERYONE, NO PLAN NEEDED
• CMS calculator – check what should be paid
• CMS guidance – 31 real situations explained in plain English, from shared care and arrears to pensions and missing income
• Support – where to turn for help with money, stress and legal advice
