Child maintenance let's talk!

Just go through child maintenance, they will calculate based on his earnings and neither of you have to add personal bias (which I think would be best for you and your child.)

Nah handle it with child maintenance. Id be willing if child was them with them every weekend but only a one night sleep liver every 2wks and you're not doing that and you got me to settle for 50b when the court said 100? Absolutely not. He's playing in your face.

That’s why you should use child maintenance and automate it. So that you cannot negotiate or argue about it. Adults can still behave like children unfortunately

Go back through maintenance and then they can calculate and adjust if needs be

Nah, go through child maintenance for it all. He needs his wage calculated and his cut taken from there what is fair to you (the main caregiver) and your child. That's his child too and therefore his responsibility to pay. Hes taking advantage of your kindness and its cutting the care you and your child get. He's acting like an irresponsible child working just as much but giving you less because he doesnt want to truly be involved. If he wanted to be involved he would have your son for the weekends. Hes playing you a fool, dont be nice so you can suffer. He needs to pay full amount or if hes struggling he needs to figure it out making extra for himself. He needs to pay full amount because thats the least he can do for bringing a child to the world and not being involved. He can work extra for his wants that hes trying to take away that money from you and your child.

You can report it as a wrong payment. He can choose direct pay and so can you but once through them you actually have it out of your hands as they calculate based on his earnings and affordability is taken into account. Both should be sticking to what maintenance calculated it as. It also should tell you his earnings on there. He will also get the notification so you dont need to show him. If missing or lowering payments when you report to child maintenance they can do collect and pay so you dont even need to discuss it with him when his taking the p just report it n let them do their job

I'd just let child maintenance deal with it. He sounds like a waste of space

He is taking advantage of your flexibility. If it stretches you too much to accommodate him, it’s your child who suffers. You can tell him that you are already trying to be flexible with him, but that is taking it too far and you simply can’t afford to accommodate any further. If he gives you a hard time about it just tell him that if you can’t solve it amicably that you are happy to turn dealings back over to the state.
You have the power here, don’t over accommodate just so you can feel like a “nice” coparent.
