sheffieldvic Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 My partner of 8yrs always paid for his son until 1yr ago when his son came to live with us. Since then his mother has not paid a single penny towards his upkeep saying she is not working ( raising another child) and she doesn't have to pay. My partner contributed over £200 per month for 9yrs and now can't ask for the same HOW IS THIS RIGHT?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know whether it's right or not as I don't know her financial position or your partner's. It's usually something decided by a family court, have they endorsed the £5pw?
