Ex partner thinks he is better as he is the breadwinner

[Repulsebay]

we have a 1 year old and I currently live in my parents home.

i feel my partner always makes me feel down just because I can’t work ( he has been working nearly 2 years on a tier 2 visa) as I stay at home to look after the baby . I cannot get childcare as my mother cannot watch him due to health problems and childcare is expensive . The partner keeps saying he will find a place for us but he never did even the baby is 1 already .

later on the relationship didn’t work out. He would say to me that the court would flavour him because he has a job and that I don’t . Before when we was still together but living sepretley he would be giving me money for the baby. Everything is so expensive I would need to use the money to pay parts of the bill as living in my parents home . Does this sound reasonable?? Im worried that the court will be on his side . Any advice from anyone pls :)

What is your proposal to him about how much time
E the baby should spend with each parent?

Having a job won't give him any advantage.. Does he pay proper maintenance? When does he have contact with your dc? You won't be frowned upon because you have no job. Your current job is raising your dc. He is a bully nothing more.

My understandibg us That the courts very much Cavour the primary caregiver!

hipe you get some good advice on here - but I wouldn’t worry about losing your baby! Your big goal is to get him Tom pay proper maintenance

It depends. Does he want to have more time with his child through the court and you are preventing that? What exactly does he think the court will favour him in?

Also I have to say if you are not working and are purposely trying to remain the primary caregiver for the purpose of receiving CM when he actually wants to parent his child then that is wrong and not a proper use of the courts.

Apply for universal credit,get on the council housing list,you will be fine….that’s assuming you live in England

So has he ever had the child overnight? Or any time significantly so you can work?

Are you in the UK? Universal credit pays up to 85% childcare costs

It's bullshit the court will favour him btw as long as the child is well cared for why woukd they remove the child to be put in childcare by the dad

The court won’t favour him at all it will be all about child maintenence and contact, as you are already separated try to maintain “friendly” interaction because he is more likely to keep up payments and contact.

He's bullying you. Of course the Courts won't favour him because he has a job. That's ridiculous. If anything, having a full-time job would hinder him having full time custody of a baby.

Whatever you do with regards to your relationship with him, make sure he is paying towards the baby. If not voluntarily, then through the CMS. He sounds like a dead beat OP

Court will favour primary caregiver. Having a job means nothing.

Don’t let him bully you. Try Rights of women for support and advice
