My Ex has always paid the right amount and on time, I have been lucky I guess. We have been apart for many years but didn’t divorce. Once we went for divorce, he began to argue about money, wanting more money which was never there to have but things turned bitter and he threatened to give up his job so he didn’t have to pay maintenance. Because we were just about to go to court, my solicitor wrote to his explaining that it would not look good on my ex if he gave up work on purpose…so he didn’t and continued in the job whilst he continuously took me to court…4 times. Now court is over and I have to give him a payout, he has just handed his notice in and has said he will therefore have to stop maintenance (obviously, he’ll be fine as he’ll have his pay out, but I have increased my mortgage to pay him off so I will have increased monthly payments, and now, no maintenance, so he’ll be really comfortable with plenty of money in the bank, whilst we struggle…what can I do? His actions a both reckless and unfair
