Custody and child support

Custody and child support

So I’m angry and I needed to vent and get any advice please. My ex left me about 4-5 years ago now and I’ve been the sole parent of our son since. I moved and he was paying child support, calling and visiting ect.
Well before COVID he lost his job ( which I found out was because of his behaviour), and then become sick so I was understanding and allowed him to not pay whilst he got back on his feet. Since then nothing! Like nothing at all! I have to chase him to call his son! Like contact random people to try pass on the message to call! And no child support payments.

Then I lost it! I text and called him every name under the sun as I was and still am angry at how selfish he can be! I sacrifice And give me all and all I ask is he picks up the phone!

So he response and we call each other names and he then tells me his moved into a place with his new ( unemployed) partner, and he has a business to start in 2 weeks! Wtf!! So you can party and socialise and find a new partner, you can start a business but lie to me and not talk to your kid or pay to help him!!

So sorry long post, I then said I’m done! I am, I want to cry and scream! I told him I want nothing to do with him at all and that it’s not faor on his child and I don’t want his kid to do anything with him anymore ( child has given up on own dad too). What can I do? He has basically abonded his own child so can I legally apply to have him removed from his custody and rights denied? ( I know it’s harsh and yes I’m angry but honestly it’s been years and years and he just hurts me and my son with his lies. How can you find a partner and start a business but not pick up a phone to say hello?, not want to help pay school fees or be part of his life)

What can I do? I don’t even want child support from him anymore I just want to live life without him.
