I have not done that. I have asked him for more and he uses the excuse that he spends £50 on petrol every 2 weeks to drive 110 miles there and back too see the kids (even though he stays with his friends and goes out with them whilst here)
I have said I will make a claim and he says if I do he will stop seeing the children. I don't want to risk it as I genuinely believe he would and my son would he heartbroken. It's not worth it.
For his threats about not seeing his kids. IMO it's going to happen eventually because how these things usually go down is he will find a new girlfriend and then baby makes 3, then 4. He will be so busy with his new family the visits and the £20 a week will be less and less.
Kids are resilient. Be smart and look out for your kids financial future.0
