I'm a recently separated mother of two girls, 3 and 12.
I lived with my common law husband for 4 years and am now separated. We have a 3 year old daughter.
I have been separated but not divorced from my 12 year old's father for 10 years and he does not pay child support because he has been unemployed for most of that time. He has very little contact with her outside of the occasional email.
My common law husband was an amazing parent to her for the most part, driving her to school, sports, buying her clothes and spending good quality time with her.
The question I have is whether or not I can ask for child support from him for both girls.
I could go after the biological father, but it's such an insignificant amount of money that I never bothered.
