My ex is employed, they’ve tracked him, written to him twice and the 14 day deadline expired yesterday. They said they will now progress it without him, but what does this mean exactly? I don’t understand why he’s ignored it as he was adamant he wasn’t the father during my pregnancy and I thought he would want the test via cms? Struggling financially now and as he’s quite a tricky character I worry he will try and get out it this and perhaps that’s why he hasn’t spoken to them. Any help I’d be grateful.

Pretty sure this means they will just take the money out off his paycheck and give it to you before it even reaches him x

@ChristmasCough thanks. Couldn’t he then start saying he’s not the father?

He could, they'll then ask for a DNA which he has to pay for, if he refuses the test then they assume he is the parent.
