No short no you can’t
That would have been your mothers job, if she hadn’t claimed anything from him throughout your life then you won’t be able to claim anything either, why would you want to after all this time, why not contact the guy and ask him why he never paid over the years, you might find out that actually he probably did and maybe your mother hasn’t told you!!!!! The child support agency is for children not adults
Hi, im in the same situation as you.. My Father abandoned me when I was 6.. He never paid a penny towards my upbringing. Im lucky enough though to have had an amazing man come into my life at the age of 8 who brought me up and raised me as his own. This is the man who I call Dad because he has done more for me than the man who created me. However I don’t feel my biological father should now be responsible to pay me 11 years worth of CSA. Iv had contact with him 1ce when I was 14 n it was blatant he didbt want to know or even tell me why he abandoned me. Iv also tried as an adult left my mobile number with his brother contacted other relatives on Fb and still he does not care. I wouldn’t waste your time in chasing him up. You managed all this time without him n im sure you will continue to manage.
@ Ellie – your comment is a breath of fresh air 🙂 You have a great outlook on life and your perspective is correct….you have done all you can and accept the situation for what it is. I am also really glad that you had a decent man to help bring you up and make you the level headed person you are.
Unfortunately not all fathers are decent and not all mothers put there children first, unfortunately the CSA is driven by the bonuses the staff get and not by children’s needs. Fathers like yours, get away scott free (because it costs the CSA too much time, effort and money to get them to pay) and decent fathers are persecuted for it by being given false arrears (to allow the CSA staff to reach their targets)..
I wish you all the best for your future 🙂
It’s called child support and by my understanding you are 26 and that my friend does not make you a child get over it.
What a selfish little boy you are, is it any wonder you have never had contact, you seem typical of the modern breed og selfish brats that this country has raised
Unbelievable!!
Get a grip.. You’re 26… If you need money that desperately get a job or try the old PPI scam
Jesus fella – at 26 I had my own child, a secure job & several properties. It’s about time you stopped with the self pity and got out there and earned a decent crust for yourself.
if I could get my hands on you you little twat id introduce you to what you have been missing from a father all these years, you sick little lazy vindictive prick , I have a son just like you cant wait till you have a one night stand with a dog like your mother and have the rest of your like fucked up because she is a warped crank (or like you produced one).
more of you will meet your match as this gang of tory facists cripple the working class and leave nrps fighting for survival. I hope you get a ebola virus , gimme a text though first so I can come and watch you rot from the inside out.
I’m sorry you sound very jealous, if your dad is looking after a child that isn’t his biologically then that says alot about him that he can indeed be a good father.
Stop looking at the money aspect of things, my children’s dad left us with nothing but still I’d rather he have emotional relationship to his kids than a financial one!
My husband’s son is just how you sound because his mother drummed it into him what a waste of space his dad was, forgetting the fact he left her the house, equity and everything else in it even though she was the one who ran off with the delivery guy at her workplace and stopped the kids from seeing him.
Your dad obviously has reasons to why there has been no contact, there is always two sides to a story….but would you believe it anyway?
Get on with your life, you either want your dad in it or not and not just use him for money.
Beggars belief doesn’t it?
