Just as the title says really, I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy 4 months ago, his father has seen him once for less than an hour and told me there was no point him being on the birth certificate. Has never asked to come visit, never asked for photos or even asked if his son was ok!
Mid April I applied for child maintenance through CMS as he was being unreasonable with the amount he was paying
The beginning of June he asked if he could be added to the birth certificate which I declined as he has no involvement
This week he has now emailed me a very formal email proposing arrangements to be involved in my sons life. He is wanting 2 days access including over night stays and his name on the birth certificate!
The email is very patronising and he has said that he has "given me time as a mother to a new born to bond with my son" My son he has zero bond with and is a complete stranger too!
Of course I would love my son to have a father figure in his life but why has it taken this man 4 months to decide this? I have never stopped him from seeing his son, he simply hasn't made any efforts himself to see him.
I can't help but think that the CMS payment may possibly have something to do with it. AIBU to think that?
I just wanted to see what other peoples views are on this because my head is all over with it all right now. Thank you if you made it this far! x
