to give a bit of background I should have some CSA money coming in after it was stopped by ex for three months, but do not have internet banking so cannot find out if the money is there without driving into town and my car is fucked. We live in deep deep country btw.
right so ex has decided he would like the children to visit him and I should pay the fares and 'he will pay me back' (like fun he will).
the fares would be just over £50.
previously he stopped paying for over 7 years and has no regular contact of any kind.
additionally when we had SS intervention he claimed to them that I had 'always prevented him from seeing the children' - this was an outright lie as there were many many times when I took them to London on the train to meet him at my expense and on several occasions he cancelled at the last minute or just didnt show up and switched his phone off. After that there were quite a few years when he made no attempt at contact.
he has just been on the phone to them, refused to talk to me about it, and left the son as go-between between us.
I am now really hand to mouth and do not see why his CSA money should go towards facilitating contact
oh crumbs now he is on the phone again and wants to discuss it with me....
brb.
