There is quite a gap between forgoing all one's earn and contributing £5 a week for three children. The point here is that the nrp is receiving an income. We can argue on the basis that income was calculated on, but the end result is the same, the nrp has a decent sum coming to him every month and that makes the £5 contribution a farce.

He never made the rules though, and neither did you or I.
From the responses of other posters, the OP did recieve what some would deem a good amount of money from the split, as we don't know the full ins and outs, we don't know if some of that money was for the children, I suppose then she could get him bumped off and get the inheritance that would be ok surely as it is for the children and it soes not matter how it came about, or if he was a drugs lord that money would be ok as it is for the children.
They have split he is enjoying his new life (or so it seems) and that is where the problem lay as someone is giving him a happiness that the OP or the children were not providing and the only way of vengeance is via money

I have to contribute 15% of my salary and that is what I do, if I opt to give any extra that will only be of my choosing, if I want to give my GFs children xmas and bday pressies or holidays but not my own child it is not illegal.

Your husband has "only" got memory problems, sounds like his head got a good wallop and he's got some sort of brain injury. The money in the special trust fund will be to fund treatment etc for life. You already got a cut of that money in your divorce so it is most likely off limits to you.

Also is it reasonable to think that a man with memory problems may have no idea when the childrens birthdays are?

No it doesn't, but there is no hiding of fact that the nrp does not have to make provision for offspring once deceased and my solicitor, informed me that I don't even need to include the CSA protion, I could have simply included 'I make no provision for ????' if I wished.
Not that I'm planning on dying in the next few years

Nobody said an nrp had to. Nor does a pwc. A person can put whatever they like in their will, including a stipulation that they do not leave anything to a specified person. But the fact remains that a will can be contested pursuant to the aforementioned legislation. Whether such a dispute would be sucessful depends on each individual case.

I cannot believe some of the replies I have been reading, these are children we are talking about, it takes two people to make children so 2 people should provide for their own children.

Or am I totally wrong in thinking this.

At least I can tell my children that I provided everything for them and they wanted for nothing, (as long as I could afford it). Whereas their so called father has decided not only to walk out on them, but not provide for them either, oh and I didn't stop contact, he did.

The children will in time make their own mind up about their father, don't fill their heads with nasty little digs about their father.
