Hi
Just wanted some advice on Spousal Maintenance as i am having to pay my ex wife £1300 a month for this?
We have been married for 7 years and are not divorced.
We have a mortgage together but that is at a big expense to myself as she doesn’t get paid so much.
She will not work more than 3 days a week and is refusing the idea of moving into a smaller house which would help me?
She would like to buy me out of our mortgage but that would basically just result in me giving her an extra £300 a month towards Spousal Maintenance!
I just feel like i wont be able to get my own house and mortgage because of this?
If any one has any advice that would help – i want the best for all of us but her refusing to even think about moving into a more affordable home makes it difficult for me?
We have agreed the £1300 ourselves (not legally) so if we were to divorce and go down the spousal maintenance route it may make things worse for me?
Hope that makes sense?
Thanks
