Informal maintenance arrangements?

[Samantha2018]

So DDs dad has never been in the position to help me financially he's been away & is now back after a few years we don't really communicate and I don't want to tbh it's very much "I'm outside" "ok here she is see you later" I've done everything on mine own and provided for her just fine we don't struggle, he's never offered me any money and I'm not sure if i want to be the ive never asked for a penny mum or have him cough up and treat her? What do you all think and how could I approach him? Thanks for your help guys

What on earth do you mean, he's "never been in the position to help" financially?! What would have happened to your daughter if you'd have said the same thing?

He's been in prison I probably should've included that rather than said been away!

Ah! Right. That's kind of understandable then.

So now I'm thinking I've done everything the past few years I feel like it's his turn but I'm not sure I can be bothered with potentially starting a argument when I've been independent for so long anyway

The money is for you child, so you can give her a better quality of life, save for uni etc. So I would definitely make sure he pays now he is able, it is her money.
