I'll keep this brief...
DP divorced his wife over 10 years ago. He was making a lot of money back then - she got £1,200,000... he was left with around £200,000. He then paid £85,000 to her in maintenance for 4 years until she got pregnant by her new DH. They have a DD together who was 10 months old when they split.
DP makes no where near as much as 10 years ago but STILL pays EW £2,000 a month in child support plus private school fees for DD (c.£15,000). We rent. She lives mortgage free. We have no DC yet but have been TTC for over a year and are considering IVF.
11 years ago DP had invested in a dodgy scheme where he made £160,000 - he lost all of this profit in the divorce. He has since paid to get out of the scheme after realising it was dodgy and before making more money on it.
Now HMRC are chasing us for a £200,000 tax bill to repay the dodgy profit + interest. I told him to go after EW. He said no. We simply do not have the money and I don't know how we are going to pay this money to HMRC. I work FT but only make £26,000 a year.
I am so upset he won't go after EW that I am considering leaving him. AIBU? WWYD?

Would you split with your OH over this?
