Child Support Agency can actually take him to court for the money he owes you…or is he self-employed and saying he has partically no income becuase he is doing cash jobs. What’s more they will charge him fairly high interest on it………Child Support Agency should have the power to submit offical papaerwork to his employer if he has one.
What is he trying to achieve by dragging you to mediation all the time. Can you have a social worker assist you?? or other Govt Dept. represent/assist you in some way. It sounds as though he is getting back at you emotionally which is actually a form of domestic abuse in some states.
Stay strong and I hope you realise your dreams to become a teacher.

I sincerely hope things turn out as you planned and in 4 years you are a teacher,msupporting yourself and your daughter. I also hope your ex is a thing of the past by then too

Phew, sounds like you needed out of that relationship! Pity he still has to be a part of your life. You definitely seem to be doing just fine on your own. This story is over 2 years old, you’ld be close to finishing your study now. I wonder if you succeeded and you got your happy ending? I hope so

God Bless you!

You are an inspiration. I truly felt connected to your story. I was In the same situation, only I have 4 daughters.

I am now a teacher and graduated with a Masters Degree in teaching.

Don’t give up , don’t ever give in. You have what it takes. God Bless you and your daughter. Janis

Hope a year and a bit on, everything is still good.

It’s good that you left that abusive ex. It’s not a very good situation for anyone to be oppressed.

Wow – well done you! You must be so proud of yourself and your strength. Congratulations on being such a much needed positive role model for your child.
