I'm so tired of the maintenance battles with my eldest daughters dad. He's quit his job so I can't go through cms but it's like he loves to be in control with the maintenance as it's all he has left to be in control of. He will always pay it late and will make me ask for it. I do count that as part of my income and use it to pay for things for dd1. Once again this month he's withheld it so Iv had to message and ask for it. He then basically said that as I'm going out with friends on Saturday night, I'm using the maintenance for this and he wanted me to 'admit' this to him in order to get the maintenance. He has belittled me and made me feel worthless and stated that I'd put a night out before my children which isn't true. It's nothing to do with him what I do at the weekend surely? It's made me so upset.
