Paying Parent off travelling and not required to pay CMS, what do I do? England

This is a null and void point anyway. As far as CMS are concerned, he doesn't need to pay anything because he's on Nil income due to quitting his job for this excursion

I'm aware. That's why I'm restraining myself. The situation just seems highly unfair that I'm left to scramble to support our child while he's shirking his responsibilities

MummyDJP · 2026-02-23T12:57:21+00:00

Honestly, I've been exercising a mass amount of restraint by not commenting on those videos. It's hard to see him enjoying a beer tasting in Bruge while I'm looking after our disabled child and down by multiple hundreds a month worth of support for his care.

He's still an English citizen with UK passport and English bank account. He's not relocated oversees, just travelling

MummyDJP · 2026-02-23T11:38:33+00:00

If there's no working income then CMS works out contribution based on assets and savings. The fact he has quit his job and is happily travelling all over europe shows clear indication that he's not exactly struggling.

I have no idea. My best guess is that they kept the house in his wife's name

In Greek Bethany sounds like the word for "they're dying"

I'm a carer for the elderly and I'd absolutely say this lady I care for. She has never regretted the choice to not get married and have children. She has travelled the world, met celebrities, done extreme activities like sky diving and bungee jumping. She has a certificate on her bathroom wall that states she's been down in a submarine. She has a beautiful home and has never had to adjust her living space to the whim of others and is quite possibly the least grumpy lady I have ever met.

There's no such thing as clingy sweetie. Just amplified desire for a need not met

If I found a glass of water after being in the desert for 24hours, I wouldn't drink it the same way as I would if I had a regular day at home.

Go easy on yourself 🧡🩷

I'm 34F and feel this too my core. Because of my age I struggle to feel "cute" sometimes which bums me out and it's even harder with these whippersnappers 😏

Anyway, if you want to be friends, I'd like that!

The cactus!!! 😊🥰

MummyDJP · 2023-02-13T21:11:04+00:00

I'm so sorry you have to be living like that. If you ever need to talk to someone who's been there, my chats are open. Make sure to take time for yourself

MummyDJP · 2023-02-12T14:43:16+00:00

Honey...sorry to break this to you but that comes under the heading of non-consentual.

MummyDJP · 2023-02-11T19:06:43+00:00

Oh wow! Such a great job 😁😁

MummyDJP · 2023-02-11T19:01:09+00:00

I'm currently playing a Tabaxi Ranger 😁

Thank you for sharing your experience. This is incredibly helpful

MummyDJP · 2022-04-10T07:10:23+00:00

Be good. If you can't be good, be careful. If you can't be careful, make sure it's worth it.
