You have already done enough to prove you are not living in the UK. Stop talking to the CSA. They will soon realise you are not in the country and they have evidence that you are not. You will not be liable for any arrears while you are out of the country as you are 'out of jurisdiction' and the case must be closed. I must reiterate, now you are living overseas the CSA cannot do anything, so if you wish to pay for your daughter, you must do it direct to your ex-partner, if she cannot be contacted, put some money aside until she can. Howeve you pay your ex, it should always be recorded, in case you ever come back to live in the UK, she will probably go through the agency again and they will want proof you have been paying.

Transfering money ,this way, from the Gulf is easy enough. Why is your ex now refusing to accept money? Are you sure the CSA was passing on those earlier payments. You can't make her take the money, but why would she make the application in the first place? If you intend to return to the UK, the CSA will hit you hard for arrears when you show up on their radar, so putting money aside for that eventuality is a good idea. Keep an offshore account though as the ex can apply for a Variation if you have a stash of more than £65k. The phrase is 'habitual residence'. There is no single definition of ‘habitual residence’ but it means more than simply where a person is living. People who are posted abroad with their work but who intend to return to this country will probably still be treated as habitually resident in this country.
