Maintenance help

[foxtailfluff]

My daughters father lives in America and has done for 4 years. He pays a small amount of maintenance compared to what he did back in the uk. He works for the same company and I know via fb that he's living his life and doing amazing things.
I asked very nicely if he could increase maintenance as daughter is at secondary school and things cost a lot more. The reply was quite nasty.
Is there anyway to get maintenance properly sorted?

I am going through a similar thing, my issue is my sons dad is on a six figure salary and decided to reduce the support by 80% with no warning, as a result I’m in debt etc. I’ve trued explaining that he’s now at secondary school so is going to cost more and ges essentiallt said he doesn’t care.

He’s gone out his way to not be found and I have no idea where in the world he is. I have a sneaky suspicion he is paying out for lots for his other son and that’s only because the mother went to his parents in Italy and called him out so they may have revealed where their son is.

My ex paying for his kidsisn’t an issue but as a result basically said my son can go withou.. not sure what child maintenance can do as as far as I’m aware he’s not in the uk unless he has an arrangement already in place with other sons mother.

If they live abroad it makes it so blooming hard so I feel your pain

Excuse all the typos.. my fingers are freezing and my glasses keep steaming up, lol

It's not right that one parent has to give their all just to scrape by and the other swans off and has the life of luxury and decides when and what they pay
