My ex works in the navy.hes been away for 5 months full employment and because he works for her royal madgesty he doesnt have to pay me maintenance according to csa because hes a reservist.e buys ipads, laptops and goes out drinking regular.This is a kick in the teeth to his 6 year old daughter and there has to be other parents in the same situation.Please sign this petition and see if we can make a change to child maintenance.Im a working parent and the money isnt so much the issue.its the principles.You have a child and you pay your way!! I havent received a drop of money for over a year and hes worked 7months full time through out it.
