What should happen in this case? Child support

[HowdidImanagetohavetwoaccountaandthenloseboth]

A relative of mine has a young child.They split up soon after the baby was born .

Resident parent is not working , other parent is working part time I think and on UC. Non resident parent not paying any CS . Their own parents ( grandparents of child) are supporting that stance .

I think they should pay something. If the resident parent went through CMS would they get anything?

£7pw I think?

Actually non resident parent is living in rent free accommodation so may not be on UC and just living off part time earnings.

Yes, the NRP should be paying 15% of their net pay approximately I think.

Your relative should go through CMS if requests for support are unanswered.

So something then and presumably would go up if they earned more ?

Resident parent has been had a go at for even asking non parent to contribute by the grandparents . Their argument is that what RP gets on UC is more than non RP gets and non RP can’t afford it .

Sadly non RP is not my relative , the non paying RP is ( and their parent is my sibling)
