What do you need help with? Do you mean you think you should be entitled to more money per month?

Kelzzzzzz · 28/02/2025 01:17

If you click on the link I provided, it will take you to the website of a charity called Gingerbread. You will see a phone number. If you call that number, you will speak to someone who can give you advice.

The link I provided has information on Child Maintenance and the CMS. However you would be better speaking to someone about your individual circumstances.

If they can't help, they should signpost you to someone who can.

Tell him since £29 is a pittance he can have the kids 50/50 and pay you nothing instead. I imagine he’ll suddenly find some extra income.
