So me and ex have always agreed on child maintenance and he has always paid it without fail. He ran into some financial difficulties last year due to COVID so I agreed to let him pay a lower amount until he got back on his feet as I was doing okay for money and he needed it more.
Last month he got a new job, so it means that I’ve only been paid £80 (£30 of which he owed me anyway so really only £50) from him in the last 6 weeks.
He is due to pay child maintenance next week - £180 based on his new wages that we’ve agreed between ourselves based on online child maintenance calculator - would I be unreasonable to ask for an extra £20 to make it up to £200 to make up for 6 weeks with no money and all the things I’ve covered for DD since then.
DD has needed new clothes, new shoes and new uniform which has come to WAY more than £80 that I have covered on top of all of her usual costs too (packed lunches, food, etc) and I haven’t asked my ex for a penny towards it so far.
