I have a mate whose ex was unreliable at paying for his kids - he'd gone off and joined the RAF and because they weren't married she had no chance that they would deduct the money for her!:mad:
She got fed up of living on the breadline whilst he lived the life of a single bloke so she CSA'd him. She now has a regular income to look after the kids with .... and she smiles too!
My sister came to her own agreement with her ex - he didn't get a solicitor. But he felt he didn't need to pay maintenance for the weeks he took their son on holiday! She regularly had to point out to him that he paid maintenance to ensure that there was a roof over their head - and that that didn't change when their son was at his parents caravan!:mad:
Sooo right, what she said...:TC.R.A.P.R.O.L.L.Z # 40 spanner supervisor.No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten."l! ilyë yantë ranya nar vanwë"0 -
