Can a new partner's income/divorce settlement be used in the calculation for spousal support?
They are not cohabiting
Back ground : STB ex wife requires SM for life as not worked for 26 years. Been bringing children up who are all now grown up - a 14 and 17 year old left at home. STB ex H doesn't earn much and household lost WTC when he left. So living on CTC's, child benefit, CM from soon to be Ex. He was paying more money but now claims he cannot afford too as he has been doing this for over 2 years and he has run out of money.
He has a partner currently going through divorce who has a professional well paid job. Whilst not officially living together he spends a fair bit of time there and his DC have spent time there too.
Is there a legal case to say he didn't need to pay rent and bills and that money could be used to pay SM?
