Currently have 'shared' care of 3DC in terms of overnights, but in reality I do more in terms of daytime care etc. Split 1.5 year ago, and I left the family home since he lives next door to his parents and the house is wreck - I didn't particularly want it! Reasons for split were EA, financial abuse and he had an emotional affair. As a result though my outgoings are much higher since he has minimal mortgage and I am now paying rent, and had to furnish the house (left with nothing). Ex works full time in a well paid job, I have a PT low wage job, and was a SAHM for 4 years (just for background).
I am currently in receipt of CB and CTC, but have received letters from HRMC that ex has now put in a counter claim for CTC. What are the chances of him being awarded this? Without it I am going to be on the breadline. I have plans to re-train in the next year, and hopefully get a better paid job. In the meantime however I don't see how I will manage without this money. I currently pay for most child related costs (throwing birthday parties for them, uniform, I drive long distances for school pickups and dropoffs for all bar one afternoon of the school week).
Has anyone got any experiences to share? Will my CTC claim be suspended while it is sorted? Really panicking here!
