..a £5 a week contribution via the CSA? Almost a year of stress from the git, shopped him to benefits fraud, tax fraud..nothing from either..no feed back. He works the 32 hrs minimum, now on the side got a van and mower doing gardening spare time, partner a bloody bank manager..they even sell second hand cars on the side!! No one seems to care. Grr..sorry hormones :mad:

    hey it's better than nothing!!!

    I have 7 children at home, including my 7 year old, their dad doesn't pay a bean!!!

    It isn't like you don't get child benefit, tax credits, benefits/wages coming into the house in your own name surely!
