My ex won’t even give money for birthday presents
My daughters dad pays me 50 a week for her and doesnt help with anything else . he has a very good payed job and i feel he isnt paying enough for her.
He works off shore and as far as im aware they bring home alot . he had a 1 year old boy now and is remarried and moved away.
He never seen his daughter for 6 -8 weeks at a time but then strted taking her most wekends and school holidays . he said he is currently not working at the moment . he has only giving me 100 for last month and said i wont get anything this month.
Im struggling to get work mself and can not afford everything for her he never helps for her school or birthdays xmas . it all has to be at his house everythig he gets for her .
I feel he hasnt been paying enough and just want to see if that is the case . im unsure of his wage at the moment as he wont tell me and is contantly trying to cause trouble for me.

£50 a week!!!! Count your self lucky honey £50 is a lot of money for 1 child why should he have to pay you that then extra on top?? Have a bit of pride and stop been so unreasonable!!!
My ex has the habit of breaking everything I buy for my girls. Coats under coal sacks, chargers lost, electronics fried with some kind of charge, new shoes vanish before wearing…the list goes on and on. Now everything is at my house or not at all and £50 extra a week is more than reasonable get a job you say so and so and stop trying to drain a man dry.
I agree £50 a week is a lot!! Definitely think yourself lucky!! Your ex has to live too you know and maybe he’s struggling financially & if he isn’t working at the moment why expect anything at all or more for that matter, if you can’t provide for your child with your own income plus what he was giving you I think you need to readjust your outgoings.
Fifty is a lot .i get 25 pound a week for my son and feel that is a reasonable amount and is enough to help towards my sons clothes or food etc for that week.dont let greed take over.he needs to eat and afford to live also
Try getting 26 pound a week for two children and he got his own business but that’s all he can afford
£50 a week equates to £200 a month.. Why are you complaining?
Wow some women are unbelievable like the lady who’s post this is.. £50 is way more than enough combined with your child benefit and child tax credits.. Stop beong so bloody greedy and selfish. Even if he did give you extra for her birthday presents bet you wouldn’t put his name on any of them!!!
Try getting NOTHING and I mean NOTHING.. How greedy are you.. Disgusting!!! I get NOTHING from my ex husband yet I do the best I can for OUR child. When we first split up I used to buy the presents and put his name to them as he said he couldn’t afford much. It’s been 3 years now and it was only last year when I said to him that he has to buy hers from him and I will do the same..You give decent PWC’s a bad name..
what the hell you get 50 pound a week plus you probly get child tax credits and child benefit thats another 80 pound a week so you must get 130 pound a week all together for your child that is more than enough stop being greedy its called child maintenance not child birthday maintenance.
Wow how bitter are you I bet if he gave you £100 a week that wouldn’t be enough. What’s up you can’t go out this weekend?
I give £400 pound a month for my two girls what I don’t see
why should he give you more ? if you were still together you would get house keeping money and sort kids birthdays out of that, so why does it have to be any different just because you have different addresses ?
pay your own way! he pays £50pw. get a grip !!
WTF u get ur money grow up £50 a week u have ur child birthday money right their . By law he dose not have to help in any other way as that want his child support to u is ment to help with
How’s this… STOP BEING GREEDY, AND BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU GET! £50 is a lot p.w. for one child. See where your greed has gotten you, no sympathy at all.
these is a joke u get £50 and u think its not a nuff then he tell u he not working but still give u £100 knowing he has a never child to look after to. If he not working ur only meant to get £5 a week . He dose not need to send anything he but his child home with her when he at his he has a right to keep it all at his stop being selfish
£380 a month. Should have to prove what the money is spent on. State only gives around £20 a week. The whole system is a shambles.
^i don’t begrudge giving money but I would just like for once for my daughter to come to me and say she doesn’t need any clothes or new trainers as her mother has bought them for her.
Greedy skank …. honestly … and yeah why should he buy things for at your hose? are you gonna buy things for at HIS house? I bloody doubt it.
Get a job u TRAMP!
greedy bitch!…f**k off…im paying £320 a month for ONE daughter and her skank mother dictates when I see my daughter…..people like you f**k me off big time
Gonk
I was paying £100 a week for 1 child with no arrears. I was on CS1 rules. Ex still made me pay half to my daughters dancing lessons and tests too plus half to a laptop. No matter how much we are forced to pay the resident parent seems to demand more. I do not begrudge paying for my daughter but i hated the fact that my ex was not using the money for her. Now my daughter is 16 then payments have dropped to £72.84 a week.
All the people posting comments on this lady’s post are revolting! She clearly stated he earns well. So for example- if your child’s father earns £4,000 per month, you think £50-100 per week is satisfactory and should not want to also buy extras for child? My child’s father earns 4,000 per month has no other children and gets his car and phone paid for by his dad. Why should he not want to try but few extra for child like trainers etc? Cost of living is extortionate -£ 50-100 doesn’t get you much these days.
