i know this might sound rude.. but is there anyone who is willing to tell em how much they get off their ex.. i used to get £30pw when he was earning 14kpa he has now got a new job and i dont know how much money he is on.. i would be interested to know how its worked out how much dads pay for their kids, personally i dont think £30 is enough a week.. she goes to dance and we go out once a week swimming, cinema, (you know something that usually costs money) plus then theres clothes food, hobbies etc...oh and he hasnt payed anything towards her for 2 years begining of feburary.

The way that they work out how much you get confuses the hell out of me. My friend looks after his son 4 days a week over night and pays for his food/clothing etc but he still has to pay his ex for the days she looks after him. Surely if the care is equal then he shouldnt have to pay. Seems a little unfair esp as he doesnt have the same rights as her.

£30 a week 
thats nothing!! I can't believe the way they work it out!

When I first claimed about 10 years ago I got £320 a month (inc arrears). Suddenly he got reviewed in 2001 and it more than halved (I've since found out he has another child he denies is his ) On that assessment, £124 a month he had married someone and had her 4 kids living with him. Last year I found out his wife had left and his mortgage is nearly due up. I had to tell them about my change of circumstances in that I wasn't working and had eefie and he wasn't paying yet again (he does this every few months despite a DoE order) and they reviewed him yet again and it says I should get £91 a month plus £24 a month arrears. I'm so far only getting £91 a month for a 15 year old!! Have they any idea how much a 15 year old costs??? 
As for the pitiful £24 a month arrears this is because of hardship, he owes me over a grand, what about my hardship and that of his daughter???
What REALLY pisses me off is he puts more than I get a week in a fruit machine on a night out then add the cost of his beer and he's now entertaining a 25 year old (He's 47
) so its not like he cant afford it eh. He hasn't so much as sent my DD a christmas card in the past 10 years. She took herself down to his house a few weeks back and he offered to take her to the pub
