  1. ok let start with the simple fact. any child has a right to see his dad. That s the law. Every father has to support their child. This is the law. simple facts.

    However at the end of the day if either party breaks the law they get whats coming. thats my view Mothers who do not allow a child to see their dad are breaking the law S1 childrens act 1989

    Dads who do not pay for their children break are breaking the law S1 Child support act. 1991

    So to the problem at hand: whether he sees the child or not he has an obligation to pay. If however there are issues between you like he is not allowed to see his child then you will understand that he wont pay. As Gray stated it is not clear whose decision this is or why. I will strongly suggest that you have no issue more important than the child and you talk it out..

    So the answer is yes your child is entitled to maintenance. Going to the CSA will be a waste of time so I suggest that you speak to the childs parent as suggested by Helen Milton

    Now to Anne Marie: lets be real that was a pretty nasty comment. in the form of a passive aggressive statement. but you are wrong anyway. Some mums and i Stress not all mums use the child as a form of black mail. Pay me or u dont see your child. Shouldnt happen but it does. I am sure you will agree that mothers like that shoudnt have children and belong behind bars. I will draw your attention to Sally Armstrong and more pertinently Perry Taylors comment and think about this on Christmas morning while you enjoy christmas with your child/ren.
