Ex on benefit 7 years now

Am I being unreasonable that I'm pissed off with my ex sits on a benefit for 7 years now while I work two jobs, have the children 8 days a fortnight. And his excuse is " its my home job". What the hell ? What does that teach my kids, work ethic? I pay almost 1000 a month in child support because he's violent and a control freak.

If you can prove violence against the children can you block his access? If they arent with him surely he doesnt get child support. Sounds like a very shit situation for you and the kids op

Why do we have this drip feed about other countries laws?

It creates a completely irrelevant dialogue and everyone gets snarky

Can you send them with secret bodycams or recording devices? Extreme situations require extreme measures. I think if I thought my dc were at risk of physical harm I’d be fraught the entire time they were gone. I hope you find a resolution soon

How much do you earn?! I just used the child support calculator and you should only be paying him that much if you earn about $250000 per year

What an odd law though. Never heard of anything like it, why should you have to pay him if you're the main carer Confused
