My dd's dad and I split up when she was very little - she is now 11. we have both married new partners and have other dc and have always tried to keep things amicable for the sake of dd.
Dd's dad gave up his v well paid job just over a year ago to start his own business and he stopped paying maintenance as he said he wasn't earning any money. To start he said it would only be short term but we are now up to a year with no sign of any further payments. He claims they are living on his savings but they still seem to manage to do days out etc that we can't afford. My dh is v upset as feels it's really unfair.
I know if he isn't earning he's not legally required to pay anything but I feel this is a choice hes made so would IBU to ask him to contribute?
