Timbuktou:
So, did she spend up to £1m or not if she's to be compensated? And no the mother didn't do shiit, the state did. How much did she earn by work in this period?

A SC ruling different from lower courts isn't necessarily because of inaccuracy. Most times, it's as simple as a difference in interpretation and discretion especially in ambiguous cases such as this.

I didn't read where he put his signature to be billed for having a child and though he did have that child, the law would not have billed him had they lived together and he was unemployed and unable to cater for the child, and I very much doubt his ex woulda sued him anyway. Having said that, I'm sure child support payments are calculated with the income of the paying parent in mind.

Again, I ask, when/if she does get this money:
1. who would benefit from the payment?

2. Is she going to give any part of the money to this young man as consolation for all he missed when his father was poor and homeless?

3. Do you think she spent up to £1m in raising the young man?

Please attempt all questions. Thanks.

Timbuktou:
What sentiments? What does she need the money for, is the question? Did she spend up to £1m raising this child? Or is it a man versus woman thing to you? If she gets this payment, who benefits, after all, the boy/man no longer lives with her.

Btw, the fact that it got to the Supreme Court speaks volumes. Why did the lower courts strike out the case or rule in favour of the defendant? That's a pertinent question you should ask yourself.

Timbuktou:
It's also clearly stated in the article that he was unemployed at the time and had to live on state benefits. He did not have the money at the time of separation.

It's one thing to refuse to pay when one has the means. It's quite another to not pay due to poverty. Apparently, he's made up for his negligence by giving the young man a job. How many young people who grew up with both parents actually have a job and housing him in today's economy? Plus, what would be the purpose of retro-billing him, exactly? Punishment for not taking care of his child, or providing those items the child lacked, what exactly?
Is the woman going to forward the money to the boy if she wins the case, after all, the funds should be for "child support"?

Maybe he should charge the boy for the amount of time he's lived with him and add it to whatever he's being asked to pay and terminate his employment while at it! Maybe the drug-addict mother will take him in and recommend him to a more prestigious company for a job. Smh

Timbuktou:
You did read the part where it is reported that they have only one child together, right?

Also, this only child now works for the father, i.e, he's under the employ of his father.

Did you read these parts of the story or not?! And this money she's asking for, is it payment for raising her own son or what? I'm a little stumped here. Help me out.

Really? The same Buhari that Condemned Jonathan's administration for partnering with foreign soldiers?

Didn't Buhari promise to tackle BH alone? Almost 400 people have died since May 29 alone. How many more deaths before we will see to an end of this madness dear President Buhari?

Cos I will enjoy it. You know all men are cheats and we cant control ourselves when we see a woman so.....I am acting the script out

Justfollowit:
How could a parent claim compensation for bringing up her own child?

Heaven knows they if it were my mum, she should be prepared to die alone.

Timbuktou:
She doesn't need compensation for taking care of a child she had. It's not like she was the step-mom. At the time this guy had nothing and could literally give nothing. Now, the son works and lives with the father. That woman does not deserve a shilling

zeb04:
If the ex wife is asking him to compensate her for taking care of their child alone financially ,then it is understandable but if she is just trying to leach on him,it is totally wrong.

Mynd44:
Dear dear...

Come sit on my laps let me pet you

HungerBAD:
Yes you can do it in your dreams.

Mynd44:
What did I do?

Santino1:
She should consider a career in "waitressing". Seems more like her calling

They will soon come for your head for daring to say "Most men don't cheat"
