Hi, my dd's father has never lived with us and now lives abroad. The CSA can't get involved as he's out the country. He's never been much good at giving us money - when he was in the country it was maybe £20 a week/fortnight. I've just worked out what he's sent for the last 5 months and it averages out at £44 a month. This obviously doesn't make much of a difference and I find I'm struggling to make ends meet.
Anyway, my question is... what is a reasonable amount to expect from an absent father? I want to ask him for more, but I'd like a figure to give him on what 'good' fathers pay towards their kids.
Thanks!!
