Ggrrrrrrr - I need a vent...
DS Dad is supposed to pay $300 a fortnight to me (due to rather huge debt while parentage was tested, cause he thought that i was sleeping all over town - man i'm exhausted:laughing: ) and he was a good boy and made regular payments. But then, about 7 weeks ago, paymernts have stopped. So here is me calling CSA at least twice a week to figure out what the hell is going on and when i can see a cash flow again. CSA can't do much but call him to arrange payments, and after some time they can use enforcement (taking payments out of his salary packet)...so after this time runs up (last friday) , he gracefully makes a payment of $100 - yes ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ( woohoo in 7 weeks - this is not even covering the costs of nappies) - and today I am on the phone to CSA - again and they say that he was supposed a couple hundred $ a week (!!) and he didn't even pay the arranged amount last week (DER). So all they can do is call him - again - and again it will take time before they can do somethin legally. :banghead:
Now I wont call him, otherwise it could get nasty, besides, I dont want him to know that I am relying on his money to keep us over water, and it should be CSA Job to do so.
Anyway, I'm a single mum (obviously) hoping that I would have been able to stay at home with DS until at least the new year, but this is not managable. Thankfully i have my mum helping me out, but still. :gloomy:
So later today I have a interview (my 2nd for the job) it's part-time, but still goes over 5 days a couple of hours every day. Not the best solution - at all - but i wanted to go for a job that I can stay with for a couple of years (hopefully) and that was the only one that sparked my interest......
Maybe he stopped payments, cause I called his parents to tell them that they have a grandson - DS is now 17 months, they had no clue. His Mum (DS Nanna) came already by twice and absolutely adores DS, and DS Dad parents are pretty ****ed off with him for hiding DS from them. DS Grandpa even invited me to Alice Springs for a holiday in October - DS Dad doesn't even know :laughing:
Sorry, needed this vent....
