Hello all
So a year after the divorce ex leaves his job ( he has own company and takes work contracts) and wants to apply to sca to cut child maint. He then realises we have a global maint order which protects my spousal main and child maint. ( my spousal was only for 2 yrs to enable me to look after young son and get back into work).
He has continued to do intermittant work but has been on three holidays this year and has just sold a home in France.. I went for a court order which has just come through. As he owes over 5k.
However, ex now saying he will apply to the court for a downward variation. I am too broke to fight this but wonder will he get away with it? He can now show limited funds coming in for the last year and soon I would have been co habiting with my partner for one year.
It seems ex has decided to take early retirement and feels my new partner should pay for our child.
Has anyone been through this? Advice much needed as tired of all this hassle ex is giving me
