My daughter is 10 and I split from her dad when she was 1.5yrs. He has always been consistent with paying £250 per month through a private arrangement and having her every other weekend. When the pandemic hit, all of this stopped. He was working as a personal trainer so of course had no income. But was also ineligible for government payments as he had not been declaring enough tax to qualify. He would have been eligible if he had. I've received no maintenance for 16mos and I am getting quite annoyed! He says work is slow but he is doing a course to improve his marketing skills and gain new business. Fine, but at what point can I expect him to get a viable job? Clearly the fitness industry is going to be slow to bounce back, and I feel he needs to plan for this. Also, if it was me I would have no choice other than to seek employment. He seems focused on his preferred career path but taking it for granted that I can cover everything. Financially I can, but I think it is wrong that he takes that for granted. Just to add, he has an older child and I know the mum struggles financially. He has also not given her anything. I find this even more upsetting, and would prefer that at a minimum he at least supports her. He also has a new baby but I understand his partner is working and therefore able to pay the mortgage etc. I believe he makes some contribution though. I'm at a bit of a loss, so any advice welcome!
