After years of not seeing her father, or having contact, he stopped paying maintenance as ordered by court. When I went through the CMS they made a ridiculous award of £7.50 a week as they disregarded his large income and capital as he was on a state pension. He has to his credit said he will pay a greater amount which is good, however he is now demanding sight of school reports, gcse results - things he has not previously asked to see and saying that the court would view my behaviour badly for my "vindictive campaign to deny him parental responsibility" I have always provided everything asked in the past, but he never asked -he does not live nearby and has shown no interest at all in his daughter. Now my daughter says she does not want him to have this information about her. As she is 17 I feel I should respect her wishes but don't want to be in contempt of court. He is of a vindictive nature and enjoys legal action for the sake of it so I want to tread carefully.

Does a father's right to parental responsibility override a child's (17) right not to want him to have it?
