My ex quit his well paid job, and is currently living off his share of the proceeds from selling the family home whilst planning on starting a food truck business. As he is no longer earning, child maintenance services have told him that he no longer needs to pay any maintenance. Ds lives with me, and stays Wednesday nights and Saturday nights with his dad. I have taken on more work so that I can make up the money, and assumed that his dad could help out with childcare on these days (picking ds up from school etc) as he is not working, but have been informed "I'm not your babysitter". Obviously he is being a twat, and all of this reminds me of why I kicked him out in the first place, but given that I really wanted to avoid going through court and to be as amicable as possible I just don't know how to deal with this. Just waiting on decri nissi, no fault two years separation divorce, clean break with finances. I had the larger share of the money from the house sale, I think it ended up being 60/40 split. Am I being unreasonable to expect more from him?
