To cover the main events, EXP has no contact with his 4 month Son, based on his own decisions
Child Maintanence payments have been arranged through the CMS, I have also asked EXP for financial help towards the costs of equipment for our Son, Car, furniture, pram etc. I provided copies of receipts to him, he said he would take legal advice, he contacted me following this and provided me with cheaper comparables of items I had purchased, he totalled the costs and then halfed the amount to offer me £521, on the proviso that I signed to confirm that this would be the only time he would have to pay over and above Child Maintanence, I rejected this offer.
In an attempt to find another way of resolving this I made an appointment with a mediator, I attended an initial appointment and said that I would be happy to attend mediation with EXP. The Mediator got back in touch with me following EXP appointment to advise mediationwould not be going ahead, they could not give a reason however it was because either they thought mediation was not suitable or one or the other party did not want to partake. I can only assume from this that EXP did not want to go ahead.
From this I now feel that bringing a claim under Schedule 1 is not my only option, for information, EXP sold a property where he made a profit of circa 90K in December 2013 and he has a gross salary of approx 61K per year. I now have a solicitor involved who is trying to push EXP solicitor to go to mediation, has anyone else been through a claim under this section of law or knows much about it? Thanks in advance
