I want to open a case for maintenance for the father of my child, he stop paying maintenance because I now have a boyfriend. Does the fact that I earn more than him count?

Good day ive moved from Pretoria to Polokwane 4 yrs back and was not receiving maintenance money since then, I want to know if I can get the unclaimed money since then as I had family problems to make follow ups on that?

I have a 4month daughter with a man who refuses to support her in any way. I have on many occasions tried reaching out to him to get him to commit to atleast something which he has countlessly failed to do. He insists on dna testing as he denies the child but will not commit to doing it… I have even gone as far as voluntaring to meet him half way after contacting a paternity testing facility. The problem I’m having now is that my daughter’s birth certificate is still pending at home affairs because i was subjected to a late registration because of personal reasons and then told it would take up to 6months for them to issue it out. I registered her when she was a month old.

My biggest issue right now is that I need financial assistance from him and I was told when I went to the family court that nothing can be done without the birth certificate.

I wanted to know if there could be another way to deal with this whole situation or better getting a court order that would subject him to actually taking the dna test so he can at least commit to supporting our daughter while we wait for the birth certificate? I just wanted to get advice or a way forward.

Since 2003 until 2016 I have been in and out of the maintenance court. The clerk never used her power to make the father pay. I want to know if I can sue the court for the stress and problems and losses I had to go through. Now I get told that the clerk is doing 3 people’s job. Also that they must be sent for training to know how to deal with me. So my question is who employ a person. And pay a salary of that person don’t know her job description.
