Hello all, what is the law regarding this situation? I am a single mum of 2 kids their dad (He is a selfish, lazy and lacks ambition and makes decisions that will make him lose a pound while saving a penny- that's some of the reasons I sent him out + cheating etc). gives £X amount every month which I told him does not cover all their needs but said he can't do more than that as he is already giving much much than the child support calculator says. This month being half-term, I asked that he gives some money for their outings/club/activity but he said he does not have that I should pay and that he will.pay me back ( he never does).
So, a few days ago, I told him I need some money for groceries for the kids as the kids are on half-term & it cost more food-wise to have them at home but he said there is nothing he can do as he has no money. I have always been the only one doing everything since they were born until I sent him packing & insisted he has to be paying for them now as I have done everything for them alone for over 8 years. I bought everything.
I just called him and he said ”I don’t have to give” which to me means he has but as chosen not to give and I asked him to clarify the statement, he refused to.
I am wondering if perhaps the law/rule says/states that he can choose not to give money to feed them after he's given the monthly money he normally gives.
