Ds is 8 and his dad pays £170 a month maintenance. It's a private arrangement, we don't go through CSA or whatever it's called these days.
Here's the thing. I need more. don't know what his dad earns nowadays. But he has just bought a house for 180k and he has a mortgage on it which he said he got with he 5% deposit thing that's around now. So I would guess to get a mortgage of that size he must be on at least 30k? And I'm sure it's meant to be about 15% of salary as dh has another dd from his previous relationship who he pays that amount to her mum, and that was via CSA
But It's so awkward as we get on really well now and i don't want to risk jeopardising that and therefore possibly his relationship with ds
Wwyd? And Aibu and grabby to ask for more? I do need it btw I'm fucking broke tbh
