Child Maintenance

I was never married to my ex partner.
Throughout my sons life his father has failed to
make regular financial contributions to his upbringing.
He has been actively encouraged to take a
part in his life and has also failed to do this consistently.
His father took me to court to gain parental
rights, this was granted along with a maintenance
order of £250. I received for a total of 6 months.
His father then paid a reduced amount of £150
further 6 years.
In my years of dealing with him he has always refused
to give his address details, we communicate
via email and via our son. He has also refused to
stick to the agreement of having my son throughout
school holidays and has not maintained the payment
agreement.
I wish for the maintenance agreement to be reassessed
and applied in full force.
The initial claim with the CSA 11 years ago, they knocked on his fathers door and he claimed no one of that name lived at that address.
And the closed the case based on this.
Now, the CSA claim that they are unable to enforce the previous application dated 10 years ago because there is an outstanding court order.
The solicitor claims that it may be impossible to enforce the order due to it being 10 years old.
I want to enforce this due to the fact that my son is now 15 years old and I feel that his father who is a Financial Oil Analyst has got away with murder.
Any advise or any help is duly welcome.

    I can't help with your problem, but I do suggest you remove your son's name and the surname of your husband from the post.
