Do you receive little or no child maintenance?

[ShirleyKnot]

I'm trying to start some interest in an MN campaign to try and bring awareness to the plight of the many thousands of us who are struggling to put food on the table with little or no financial support from an absent/NR parent.

Please come and look here at my thread in the campaign section and add your thoughts or experiences.

Thanks

missy - What MrGin said.

This is a thread wherein the ex's / NRP's are unreliable twats, and I'd venture that the fact that we get between nothing and bare minimum from our ex's is just one facet of their unreliable twattishness towards their DC.

I for one am glad that my ex no longer sees our DD, as she exposed DD to DV (and I believe emotionally and psychologically abused DD herself), and due to DD's speech delay, I didn't know anything about it until I got the letter from SS.

Oh, I knew her parenting was sub-standard (even though SS had previously ok'd her), I just didn't know quite how sub-standard...

If she was any sort of a reasonable human being, or becomes so in the future, I'd happily give her back the paltry £10 per fortnight and even support her in re-building a relationship with DD. But I can say that knowing that the chances are, as they say, slim to none, and slim fucked off a long time ago.

UnlikelyAmazonian - what a piece of shit.

PinkCarBlueCar d'oh < slaps head, raps self on knuckles > sorry I made the stupid error of posting about the useless men in these situations, there are of course some women too. Apologies.

MrG - no worries, I often get mistaken for a woman. Er, on here, not in RL.

Ex called in Jan last year from work, dumped us. DD was nearly 4. No contact or maintenance in nearly a year. Like girlifriend, annoyed he has chosen to ignore the existence of dd.

and more angry I chose this twat to have a child with and then he abandons her.

My ex got taken to court by CSA on behalf of his previous ex. He had a lability order, and paid all the arrears. I suspect had he been in a position to up sticks and fuck off to avoid them before they got to that point, he would have.
Waiting for the point when he decides DD's are too much hard work on his own, and I have the same problem, supect it will be round about the onset of puberty.
