    The poor guy has lost his job and his career yet all the ex wants to do is put in the boot, why because he dares to have a partner who works. She is not responsible to pay for the children. The eldest can support themselves through uni and the younger one can get a saterday job then no-one has to go without.

    Also if you have no contact whatsoever with the so called 'child' involved despite trying, why the Hell should you have to pay anything.


    Because you are their father and thus 50% responsible for their financial upkeep. It has nothing to do with contact with them, or your feelings/relationship with your ex.

    Having said that it is sad that due to limited/nil contact you are unable to share in full parental responsibility of your son/s.
