I honeslty don’t know if i have put this in the correct topic. I recently split up with my partner as I feared he was cheating with someone who he claimed was just a friend. My fears were confirmed a few days after I finally kicked him out as he is now in a relationship with her. We have a one year old daughter together and he is refusing to have her overnight one day a week just so I can breath and have a little time to myself to do the things I want to do but apparently I’m not allowed this.
He has her on a Saturday while I am working. And for a few hours on a Thursday and Friday in the morning before his mum takes over because he works nights so needs to sleep and I also work those days. Our daughter is with me at all other times. He has also said that he will not be giving me any money and if I need anything for her I have to ask and he will buy it. I don’t want to have to go down the court route or seek child support but I feel like he is leaving me with no other options anyone else been in this situation? any advice would be great and very much welcome.

The only thing you can do is put in a claim for child maintenance, you can’t make him have her but you can claim maintenance which he will have to pay. I’m sorry OP it sounds like a really tough situation!

As above
put in a claim straight away to cms based on no overnights / but be warned you may suddenly see him want 50-50

Make a claim now. I’ve tried for a year with my ex and now wish I had just made the claim right in the beginning!
