Can I ask a couple of questions please? Sort of data collection/comparison thing : )

I thought this would be interesting but mainly I just want to see how we compare to other single parents families out there in terms of contact, and also maintenance.

Obviously please don't answer if you don't want to post that sort of information - or only one part of it is still useful.

I promise I am a regular and have just changed name this minute to ask, as I don't want ex to find me on here based on my own circumstances...I'm not doing research for any other purpose, not a journo, not a student! too old

Anyway, I have a 10yo who sees his father once every month for four hours. His dad doesn't request any more than this.

His dad also pays £10 per week through the CSA.

Is this normal-ish or a bit lacking?

obvious - snap! DD is 12, her father has never met her or paid a penny either.

Ex doesn't see son and pays £10 a fortnight through CSA..

Child care split 50-50.

No maintenance to each other, child benefit split 50-50.
