How can we get him to pay his share?
I found out my girlfriends ex has not been paying and child support for the last year and a bit to his son, one son is in care and the other lives with us.
I understand he doesn’t have to pay for that kid but he hasn’t even bothered to contact the lad that lives with us at all, won’t see him and the on,y time he’s been in contact was to give th lad grief about me!
I’ve never met the father (sadly) but when I found out that he had paid no maintenance it made my blood boil even though I would rather pay for the lad myself! My ex has been told by the CSA that she can’t claim any of the money he hasn’t paid her as he is saying they had a private arrangement! And won’t pay anything, if they try to take it from his wages he will go self employed so he doesn’t have to pay?
What’s the reality and legality here? Please help, my gf is really upset as she isn’t working and wants to contribute even though I say it doesn’t matter, it’s a matter of pride for her!

it nowt to do with u it for them to sort out
What about the child in care? I’d be more concerned with that in all fairness unless it was for mental health reasons and if the said child not adopted I thought csa would be paid to him by both parents unless rights have been relinquished??
If a private agreement was set up then csa cannot go back on the alleged arrears but she can convert it so csa can start processing a new claim but with recent claims it does involve mediation, unless proven abuse has taken place.
I second what Kev said.
If both kids are being cared for a small amount of money isn’t going to change anything unless you’re involving yourself to score cheap points with your girlfriend.
It’s not a game, keep your nose out.
I’d like to know how this guy met this girl? If you were actively involved with their splitting up by her having an affair with you ???? And you wanted her to leave him to live with you? Then I say, morally you should be paying for his child,after all….you wanted the mother and her baggage goes with her….why should her ex top up your salary?

It definatly is his business, who do you think is picking up the bill when the father doesn’t provide for them.
