Does anybody have any advice on child maintenance? My ex broke up with me when I was 11 weeks pregnant and made the decision of not being a part of our daughters life, I have now had my baby girl she is 3 weeks old and I am worried to claim child maintenance incase he thinks I'm only out for money out of him, I didn't want to claim child maintenance from him as I am not that person however the way he has handled this situation in regards to not wanting to be a part of his daughters life I think it's only right he pays his way, I think if I go ahead with this his family will want me to get a paternity test and try to make my life hard for claiming CM off him, I don't want to have to do this but he needs to pay for his child and what he's done, has anybody ever experienced this type of situation before? Oh and as far as I'm aware he doesn't even know she's born yet as he's blocked me off everything and told me he doesn't want no involvement so I didn't try to get in content with him when I had her.
