Hi! All, I have 2 kids with my ex who was Court ordered to pay maintenance e800 p.m. plus school costs - he has a very good job, roughly e120,000 per year but lives up to every penney. He now has a 3 year old with new partner who is a stay at home mum.

This year the school costs are roughly 1,500 including 'voluntary' school contributions. I have been mentioning the costs to him since early June. Now I have bought all the necessaries and presented him with the bill, he says he cannot pay - I only work part-time.

Any comments/advice as to how to handle this. My concern also is that if this is the way things are going to be going forward, I will need to return to work full-time - and that will be difficult in this climate.

All sensible comments and advices on how to handle this, very welcome!

Thanks.
 
Is he not in breach of the court order if he does not pay the school costs?
 
Yes, Bronte, he is, but that doesn't seem to bother him. Maybe I'll just have to bring it back to Court in Sept if he is not willing to pay his share - not something I want to do, but his intransigence is leaving me no option at the moment.

Thanks for your reply.
