I receive court ordered child maintenance from my ex-husband but have not received anything for the last 3 weeks, when I contacted him he has advised me that he has lost his job so therefore wasn't in a position to pay anything or just a nominal amount. I was also made redundant last year and have declared the maintenance I was receiving to the Social Welfare and they have reduced by payment accordingly.
I am just wondering because it is court ordered if it is legally possible for both of us to agree between ourselves to him paying a reduced sum or nothing until his finds other employment. Our last day in court was to say the least something I would rather not repeat but I don't want to be in cotempt of court or whatever the correct term is for not abiding by the court order, also if we can come to an agreement should he apply for a variance order to ensure the legality or will that involve a court date. Any feedback appreciated thanks.
