Asking for more maintenance

My ex paid nothing for 1.5 years, I continually asked him but he ignored me so I contacted CMS, unfortunately as he claims UC and works cash in hand he didn’t have to pay.

He agreed to 100.00 a month for our boys 5 and 17. I asked him to increase to 200 and he’s refused. He has the 5 year old 1 night a week.

I’m so annoyed he’s just returned from a golfing trip, is always out socialising, has expensive golf memberships, season tickets and gym memberships.

Doesn’t pay for any uniform, school trips etc…

Partner claims as a single parent although they live together. In this position do you just give up and realise the Dad is just a waste of space?

I think you will have to suck it up given he claims UC so wouldn't have to pay. Sorry I know its not what you want to here. My ex is also on benefits and doesn't have to pay so I know its hard but he is paying £100 a month so I would take it
