    You know that some do , not all but some, not saying that is the case with the OP, but obviously this geezer is not going to join the witchhunt, although support the final good cause.
    You know nothing about Ruby yet you thought it appropriate to throw in the old classic lines whilst answering her. Then you crawl back saying "some do".
    I made a mistake once, believeing people on the internet were my virtual friends. It won't be a mistake that I make again!

    If that would work they i would do it, but it wont, like i said we've had countless agreements not all of them have been just about him giving me money each week, one of our agreements was that he bought something our daughter needed each month (this was when he was having money problems) the first month we agreed he would get her some new trainers, that was a year and a half ago and shes still waiting for them.

    it may not work on the 1st or 2nd or 3rd attempt, what if the daughter asked for the trainers herself? and you had no input to it?

    I had a mate whose ex was really good to her and her child. Paid a regular amount every week then she would give half to her new chap to spend at bookies and spend the rest on booze for herself. Dont think you should hound the ex and make things so difficult for him. At least he works and no doubt there wbe an attachment of earnings issued i suppose. It will be difficult for you to manage but don't ,fall into the trap of becoming bitter and twisted its so no worth it.

    It seems you know little about people, as the saying goes there is more than one way to skin a cat, the csa is an option , but it is not the only option and obviously it is not an option that is working either.

    Really is that the case, perhaps with your wealth of information you could enlighten all the pwcs who are struggling with "skinning the cat" the other options that are available to them.

    Did you read any of the posts?
    I don't have a wealth of information just alternatives , so whether you like what you read or not , the csa is not the only way and some nrps do pack up work rather than get ripped off :rotfl:

    Oh yes i did read your posts, where you have nothing to do with your child although you do pay csa monies. So give Ruby some alternatives rather than :rotfl: or are you unable to do that?

    ??? My cage is not rattled, you asked the question and I answered, and simply asked you the same question, it is obvious in life that there is more than one way to achieve things, and just because somebody does not share your beliefs does not make them inferior to you :p
