Is this allowed?

DD is almost 10 and gets DLA and I receive the child benefit and carers allowance for her.

ExH reduces his maintenance by £20 a month to take into account these payments. He says he’s getting his share of those payments that should be shared fairly with us as DD is both of ours.

I mean it’s £20 but he’s supposed to pay £75 a month and pays £55 which makes a difference.

Child Maintenance Service don’t care and tell me I should be grateful for getting anything off him.

He has DD EOWend for 1 night only.

Of course they can force him, it’s taken out of his wages before he even gets it. Sounds like another dead beat Dad is he?

@millymoo1202 Yes been to CMS who say he should pay me £75 a month but can't force him to pay more than the £55 he pays.

Is he self employed?

If he is now paying less than the cost say he should take it further with them, if he's still paying the minimum or above unfortunately there's nothing you can do.
Either way he's a morally bankrupt twat

Have you gone through CMS? Why can’t he have her more often than one measly night?
