Hi I was wondering if there’s anything I can do regarding my child’s farther lying about income in order to only pass me 29 a month . My son’s father is currently driving a car costing him 400 a month in finance yet he’s down as only claiming benefits . He only gets 300 from universal credit but he can afford a 2024 plate car for 400 a month . He uses his mother bank account as that’s how gets away with it .
My son’s 7 and I’ve basically raised him alone with his dad coming and going . Last October was the last time my son saw his dad . It’s been hard living in a private rent dealing with all the cost on my own . My son is starting year 3 this September and as much as money was struggle before hand I now have to pay for school meals as I work 20 hours a week . Ive tried reporting that my baby dad is indeed making more money then he makes out but nothing has happened and i dont find it fair how I’ve been working since 16 years old trying to provide for my son and is still struggling 7 years later and he gets to pass me only a petty under 30 pounds a month . He never bothers with my sons birthday or Christmas and this is affecting my mental health not only because of money but because my poor baby who always wanted a relationship with his dad and been let down his whole life . It really is bothering me it seems so unfair and evil yet he’s getting away with it is there anything I can do ?
