He’s never paid – how much am I owed?

I have a 9 year old daughter, she sees her dad every couple of weeks for the weekend as hes a serving soldier. He has never paid child maintenance yet we have a good relationship, he does not help in regards to clothes etc either. I would like to find out how much in owed and how i go about receiving maintenance.

kind regards

  1. If you have never opened a csa case your owed.nothing till you.do, but be warned your probably bound to destroy the relationship between your daughter and her dad, whats more important, having a.good relationship between father and child or csa turning you against each other thru lies and.incompetence, since he is a serving soldier you should be thinking more of him.being a father than lining your pockets, fighting for our country and freedom, and your bothered about how much he owes you, why.not ask him to help you, you obviously didt need it before why now

  2. woah woah woah. Irrespective of his job, he helped create a life. its only reasonable he contributes. if this lady was really a ‘money grabbing skank’ then I’m sure she would have been to the CSA years ago. @Gemma Cooke, you could say something like, ‘I know times are hard but I would really appreciate some financial assistance with our child’s upbringing ?’

  3. @ Gemma… Try to come to a private agreement with your ex, if you involve the CSA they will destroy your lives and the relationship your daughter has with her Dad, they are not interested in any of you and especially not your child…. The CSA staff are driven by their bonus, they will lie to you and your ex cause trouble which will lead to a compete breakdown in communication so that the CSA staff can play you off each other…..

    You could however, suggest your ex use the calculator provided to see how much he would be expected to pay if you went to the CSA and agree an amount between you both….

    The relationship your Daughter is very important so I’m sure he will do the decent thing and help out financially…. Both parents should always contribute what they can afford… The CSA will bleed him dry and you will be lucky to see any of it…..

  4. As all the comments above sum it up particularly Sally and Derek… all i can do is agree ask him… its better for all concerned…

  5. Ignore Duncan, Steve and Lisa, who are full of hate and promote that only.
