Hey everyone, needs some help here please.
When the ex and I separated we each had one child with us and similar salaries so it was decided that there would be no child support to be paid. This was fine for about a year and half then my daughter decided to go live with her dad. We negotiated an amount of child support and I paid that for 2 months.
My daughter has now decided that she does not want to live with dad or mom anymore. She is and has been couch surfing with friends for about a month. Dad has said she isn't welcome back in his home unless she basically changes who she is and her belief system. She is under the age of 16 so legally she is not allowed to be on her own but we have been informed by the police that there really isn't anything that can be done. It is all quite hearbreaking
I am continuing to support daughter with the very basic necessities but she is on her own or as she says sponging off others for food and shelter. From what I understand, legally I am financially responsible for her even though I am not really contributing much.
My question...am I responsible to pay c/s for child who is living with dad? My daughter does come to stay with me maybe one night a week. I am not collecting child tax credit either.
