Am I entitled to money from my father?
September 27, 2011
I am a 23 year old woman.
My dad left my mum and I when i was 21 months old. He never paid any form of maintenance what so ever for me. We struggled for years whilst he sat back and had another child with someone else, who once he left them, he paid for them.
He recently got in touch with me over facebook and i want to know if i am entitled to any of the maintenance money he owes my mother and I. I do not want to get to know my father but we struggled for years because he just couldn’t be bothered to pay.
Many Thanks
Gemma Wingrove

Are you really serious?
You don’t want to know the guy but want his money? My god i feel sorry for any guy who gets with you!!!
Ever thought your Mum stopped him from seeing you or having any part in your life???
Yes indeed
You stupid greedy cow,typical woman,money grabber,you see a possibility of getting money from a father you never knew and who didn’t care about you,have some self respect and just get on with your life.you said yourself,you want nothing to do with him but happy to take his money,god help the man that gets involved with you and bares your child,you would probably dump him cause you know it’s a way of screwing him for money like you trying to do with your father.You are not entitled to anything morally and it’s your mother that is…if at all entitled to claim against him.
Are you working? If not go and do so and earn your keep instead of expecting other people to keep you.
Another PWC in the making!!!!
Don’t you find it a tad odd that he contacted you?? There are two sides to every story and money shouldn’t be the first thing to come into it, sorry I was a single mum and I refuse to discuss their dad negatively, that’s for them to find out as its not my right, that’s still their dad….and he’s been absent for over 6 and 1/2 years.
wow- I have just contacted my sons dad after 25 yrs- he chose not to pay I was too proud to make him…….I have spent the 25 yrs of my life supporting my son- no holidays no extras- whilst he has had all of the above…….is this fair??????
havnt seen or heard from my dad in 13 years never paid a penny to help with up bring i dont want the money i just want to no why ?
just can’t miss what you never had
its unfair to say shes money grabbing, my story is very similar and my grandparents, his parents even say that my dad didnt try with me. dont judge if you dont know the whole story..who wants to air their laundry on the internet?! have some compassion. my mum had 3 jobs to raise me and give me a decent life, my dad wanted nothing do with me until i was 16 and kicked off when i found his address to send him a fathers day card!! as he thought i was after him for csa. i wasnt but after the way hes treated me i thought not a bad idea to investigate after my mum struggled all her life. she didnt even want the csa in the end and he still wouldnt see me…..so if anyone does know the answer…please answer and dont judge!!!
Hi I was 3 years old when my parents got divorce I never heard of my dad I stayed at my graanny and went to a children home when I was 24 I found my dad he is well of he refuses to help my familly or his grand children when I got a problem and ask him for money he wants to write me of the same with my brothers he wants us to see him as a dad but he want to do nothing for us never been there for us he earns enough money but he don’t see us as his children is the money he got today is blood money he can keep it I got so far wiithout him in life
I am in the same position I am 19 and I agree with you, my father also left when I was 3weeks old he was abusive and was a vile man, he’s never financially supported never made an effort to see me and my twin sister despite living just 4 miles away from me, people who are calling you greedy need to realise certain predicaments and situations that they no NOTHING about and the reality of life is you have children you support them and some people just haven’t got it in them to do that like my ‘father’ if you can even call him that, people commenting obviously don’t know how it feels and their comments are not needed and irrelevant.
