Recently separated from dh. Had posts on here under various names over the years where I was told he was financially abusive. Background-he works very long hours in stressful job,I am sahm to 3 (2 with sen) Mortgage in his name only which he pays,plus all bills and food. I have never had access ton"his" bank account and had to ask for money and was given £20 per week.
Found out he was lying about money again,telling me we didn't have any and then changed pin number on account so I couldn't get cash out and also lied that the machine swallowed his card. Final straw so asked him to leave. He is currently staying at his parents and says he will continue to pay mortgage/council tax but will not give me any maintenance. I have contacted cms but was given conflicting advice.
So my question is can he refuse to pay maintenance because he is still paying the mortgage?
