Two local men have been ordered to pay thousands in unpaid child support.

The first man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, but is from Aberporth, was ordered to pay £1,598.67 in unpaid child support and enforcement fees by Cardiff Magistrates Court on July 6.

The money covers the period of July 12, 2021, to December 17, 2022.

The second man, who also cannot be named for legal reasons but is from Boncath, was ordered to pay £3,097.40 in unpaid child support and enforcement fees by Cardiff Magistrates Court on July 6.

The money covers the period of November 6, 2018, to November 14, 2022.

The court granted the applications after being satisfied that the Child Maintenance Group had sent all the relevant notifications in the correct time frame and that the defendants were liable to make the payments but had not.
