Baby money

[ettelloc]

My friend is having a baby to a guy in the army. He hasn't really had much do do with her but says he wants to see the baby when hes home. Is she entitled to money from him for the baby if he wont help her out?

She will be entitled to child support: http://www.csa.gov.uk/newcsaweb/faq/application/whatiscm.asp

It is a while since I was in the Forces, so things may have changed, but If he will not contribute of his own volition then you can always ask your friend to write to his Commanding Officer asking for help. Standing with your heels together in front of the COs desk will get her the money far quicker than the CSA.
