Apparently, there is some payment, i THINK called the Family Supplement, it might be called something else similar, that is paid to parents, each year after a tax return is lodged.

i am very curious if they can be backdated.

My ex is behind with several year's worth of tax returns.
So i have not been paid these annual sums for bilby.

IF X ever DOES do these blasted tax returns, will whoever pays out this Family Annual allowance (for bilby), pay out several year's worth of that? or do they expire?

I don't even get the one for 2012, because x and separated nine days after last year. if we had separated 29 june 2010, then i would get the 2012 payment, paid direct to me, for bilby. but no, we miss out by nine silly days.

bilby and i could really use that money.

separated, trying to start a new life, but x's financial irresponsibilities, still haunting me and bilby.
