Ex is moving 130 miles away. He wants me to share the journeys approx twice a month, about 100 in petrol. He told me the amount he'd give me in maintenance, which to me seemed generous, and he explained it's so I could facilitate the petrol costs. I was advised to check csa calculator and he is giving me the minimum. I don't want it to sound greedy but it seems unfair he decides to move and I have to pay half the travel costs and do half the travelling? It is going to be so tight financially when he leaves that the 100 would make a massive difference to me and the children. Until he leaves I don't want to kick up a fuss but when he has 3x the spare cash I have to support myself and 2 children it doesn't seem fair. Obviously I want him to have a relationship with the children, but he expects maintenance to cover everything the kids need and petrol, he has made it clear he doesn't expect to be asked for a penny more towards the children.
Sorry that's so long!
