I dont think its fair to stop him to be honest. I did everything possible to try and get Mayas dad to see her. But he just wasnt interested. Time spent/relationship..is 100% more important than money x

I can understand your frustration. Its annoying that you have to put everything into raising your child yet he can just pop in and out whenever. I know its crap that he hasnt paid anything but maybe the fact he wants to see her he wants to change and make the effort? Its not fair on YOU he hasnt paid anything, but its not fair on your daughter to deny her seeing her father. X

Personally I think he should be able to see his kid, at the end of the day it did take both of you to make the child, wether he pays any money or not it also depends on his situation, but in my eyes the time he’d spend with his kid is 100 percent more worth it, plus if you allow to bond that then gives the child a chance to decide their own opinion on their dad rather than hate you in the future for not allowing them to bond whatever the circumstances x

I personally think unless the dad is abusive there's no good reason why he shouldn't be allowed to see his child. He might not contribute but I wouldn't even want his money I would do it all myself but their relationship is 100% more important than money to me anyways x

@stephanie2015, personally I would let him and her have the chance to know each other, I couldn't care less about money if he made my baby happy then I would let him see her. Obviously he hasn't proved him self yet but that's not saying he wouldn't if he was given the chance I would see how things go if he becomes regular and your daughters bonds with him then he may become more relaxed and help out with her if he knew her if that makes sense xx

thank you for your opinions ladies xx

@stephanie2015, not at all then, if he hasn’t bothered to see his child for over 6 months he doesn’t deserve to even be called “dad” 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hi, I think there's no excuses not to send/give money for his child for that long, it's just wrong.
Even a fiver would be betta than nothing!
I probably wouldn't allow him to see his child to be honnest.
Am sure you would be just fine without his support x

@stephanie2015 Well Id go through CSA if you want money :)

In my opinion that should depend on what/ if he can afford to pay. As long as he is a good Dad and is consistent, is able to care for and loves the child then of course he should be able to see her. A child is made by 2 people and as long as both are responsible parents then they should have equal rights to the child. Xx

Maya's dad saw her 1.5 years without paying a penny. Time spent with her was a 100% more important to me. But he didnt even do that so left :). Has he seen her in those 6 months?

not even once

Has he seen her regularly in those 6 months?
