I’ve spent the last 15 years on and off with my child’s father our daughter is now 8
for the first few years he was paying for nursery and clothes but never actually gave me money for home life. He then started giving me £25 a week which was all the time it would be here and there
he then got a gambling addiction and lost over 60k baring in mind at this time I was asking for money for my daughter or asking for more help- he was living in my home wasn’t contributing towards bills ect told me he had nothing.
Child support stopped for a very long time maybe 3/4 years
his since been working a new job for about a year almost 2 now and constantly complains about money being paid wrong or not being enough or being unable to pay his bills( his bills include her car his food shopping and his credit card) he doesn’t pay rent council tax gas water nothing of that sort. I got strict and started asking for 50 a week as I have our child 24/7 he doesn’t commit to days some weeks he would have it some weeks he would. He sometimes works 7 days a week and sometimes doing double shifts.
I’ve asked to se worried of his slip asked how much he was paid and his always indirect changes the subject or just says some ‘change’ now if I earn any money I always tell him how much and what. So I just think the secretiveness is weird
so I have since go in his emails and have found a bank statement. His earning 900 a week. His argument is I have crossed a line of privacy. But am I really wrong for doing this?
