AIBU to ask my XP to pay child maintenance. I have a DS who has a residence order in place to live with me his father. His mother was only allowed supervised contact for 2 years and now she has him stay over one Saturday every 2 weeks. She also fetches him from school 2 days a week but brings him back to me at 7pm to sleep.(When it is convenient). She works full time and lives with her new partner who also works full time. I work full time and have a reasonable job but nothing exceptional and have had to put any career aspirations aside to look after my DS.
When I ask for money for anything it turns into a big argument and she will refuse to fetch DS from school half an hour before he is due to finish. Then she won't see my DS for weeks after and he feels bad.
She says if she had him she would expect nothing from me. I was told to take her too court by social services as she was always drunk and the police removed him from her. So she says I took her to court now I need to take responsibility for my actions.
