Good morning,
I am hoping someone can help.
My child’s father only pays £7.02 per week child maintenance. Since Sept 19-August 20.
He did increase this to £40 pw August 20 but has now reduced this back down to £7.02.
Based on csa calculation. He works for his fathers business and they pay him cash in hand or not at all. He lives off his parents basically.
Which is he own choice etc.
Yet I am ordered by the court to travel half way up the country to facilitate contact every other week. Which cost minimum £50 each trip.
I am my daughters soul financial provider. I pay for nursery. I work part time. I do all I can.
But this minimal amount is causing significant financial impact upon us. I have appealed to the csa to explain he is working. They just keep saying I have no prove. Which in theory I don’t. I have reported the company to hmrc for fraud with no response/action.
I feel wholly tied by the court order yet am suffering with his inability to pull his weight.
Does anyone have any advice at all?
Anything would be greatly appreciated x
