Hi there,
basic outline of my query-
divorce due in next month
5 children all with me
Ex works full time, earnings vary but take home pay is about £2500 a month I think. He pays me £500 a month for children
I work 15 hours a week, get tax credits and rent help
I think i was stupid to not ask for maintenance for me right from the beginning - we split in Feb- but was being proud.
Now I would like to get him to pay me some, how do I work out how much? And is it fair to ask it to be backdated? Probably not.
My main reason for beginning to think I was stupid is he sold our only asset and didnt tell me, i found out about a month ago and asked him for half of what he got. He said wait till divorce was sorted and he would then, but methinks he may have spent it.
