News / Child with Polish ex, is 275 Euros a normal amount for child maintenance? [53]
Hi all - not sure if I am in the right forum here -
A couple years back I met a Plish girl here in Ireland, we began a relationship and seemed to be getting on fine. She got preganant and dissapeared back to Poland - told me that she was staying there and not coming back. I naturally felt hurt and angry and ceased communication with her. As soon as the baby was born she began looking for money, i refused to pay anything as i felt that I had been used and deceived into something. She then began legal proceedings - the court awarded here €200 per month plus €75 per month to pay off the back dated monies... also they awarded her 3,600 PLN lump sum for when the child was born, Im just wondering does this seem a large amount of maintenance for me to be paying? I earn approx 2,200 € after tax per month. Im married and have a mortgage, as you probably know - Ireland is not cheap place to live, and I am under the impression that Poland is quite a cheap place to live.
So do you think im getting a raw deal or is that quite a normal price to pay?
Appreciate feedback
