I work hard to provide for my wife and step-son but her ex pays nothing

What to do.? I made the decision to take in and look after my now wife and her son when he was only a few months old. The previous relationship fell apart and we got together.

The ex is bitter and snakey. He gets access to his son and has done from the beginning. What gets me is I have had to run myself into the ground to provide for my family. While for the last 2 years this guy has gotten away with paying nothing. Working cash in hand , refurbishing his flat, learning to drive and buy a car, cuban holidays and so on.Has he paid for his son? No!?!?

Weekly access on days and times that suit him. In the beginning the guy was offered to partake in a mutual agreement… A measly £20 a week. To which he disagreed. Now he’s nearly 4k in debt with the csa due to non payment. The csa are brutal and lazy at times but hell? No, people like my wife’s ex deserve to get dragged through the ringer, no viable and decent explanation for non payment. Even until last week he was asked why his reply was he sent all the documents we have to wait for them, my wife told him he was free to call and make a payment via card anytime and his reply was that he didn’t have too. Coward. Any man who walks away from his financial responsibility as a parent deserves nothing but grief.

All those who are trying like myself I applaud you, 2 kids and a house to support, not easy. Those genuinely in the wrong you’ve got my sympathy as its not all plain sailing.some people should hang their head in disgust… Don’t worry though real men and fathers like myself will be here to pick up ur slack! 😉
