So had the money convo this morning!!!

Didn't go well, said he will continue to buy milk/nappies etc when I ask him to and will bung a rennet on the gas!

Apparently he is not paying into my house and certainly not contributing towards my older dd living costs when her dad doesn't!

He totally disagrees that he has a easy life with no responsibility towards the baby at all as he has "his own bills to pay" not really sure what as he even puts his rent through the business as I IT cost! And has no elec/gas/tv/water etc to pay for!

Guessing my next move here will be a email saying we have no future at all, and that I suggest he looks at the CSA website to get a idea of what he should be contributing weekly to a child he doesn't live with

Here is the link for the CSA. I hope you get arrangements put in place for your dd. Remember that you are fighting for her right to be financially supported by her father.
Good luck

What a useless tosser. He sounds just like my ex, who also seems to think our toddler lives on fresh air and needs nothing as I can just reuse my elder child's stuff for him (that I got rid of many years ago anyway). I have had precisely £30 from him since we split up. He had the nerve to ask for it back the week after as he had bills to pay! He seems to think that his bills (inc. paying business debts from personal money to keep it afloat, and rent he could claim HB to cover if he could be arsed to complete the forms) take priority over keeping his children alive, fed and warm. Of course it would be ridiculous to ask him to pay for our eldest child either, as he has him two nights a week and has to feed him there! Hmm

Please do get in touch with CSA. You'll never see a penny otherwise. What a dick!
