im under the impression that the child maintainance i pay my ex covers school uniforms...or am i wrong and need to give her more?...all a seem to do is hand out more and more money...never have any left to do anything with my kids.
thanks in advance.
Hi There,
Your child maintenance is your only liablility to your child that you "have" to pay.
This doesn't stop you offering more for trips, uniform or any thing else that may be needed, but it's down to you to decide what you can afford if anything over the csa payments.
Darren
thanks Darren,
dont want to sound like im a tight [censored].....i pay for alot of extras over the agreed mauntainance...clubs etc...but feel the ex takes the [censored] at this time of year...i have heard she gets school uniform clothing allowance but ive no way of proving it....
Gordon.
just a wee update....got mu kids the other night after school....wait for it...uniforms from george at asda....aint got a clue how sha managed to spend £300...lol...think she be telling lies.
Well I guess things can mount up when you use your imagination (especially when someone else is paying)
I guess that you could easily spend that kind of money on uniform if you went for all school logged tops though.
Did you give her the money for them in the end?
Darren
asda...2 shirts £3.50, school trousers £3, school jumper £2...total £8.50 x my 2 boys grand total of & £17...their trainers were £20. I bought them their school jackets.
you will be glad to know i didnt buckle and give in to her demands...needless to say she hasnt contacted me in about 3 weeks now...down side is she makes it difficult for the kids to even talk to me or spend time with their dad, but need to rise above it....kids know i love them and im always there for them.
only posative is, after all of her moaning about money and preventing me from seeing the kids has saved me a fortune this month so now have spare cash to treat the kids this weekend.
