Hi all,
I'm after some advice and was wondering if anyone has any experience of having two different childminders for their kids after divorce (ex-h abusive, divorce not amicable and he makes my life as difficult as possible just as background info).
Long story short, it's not working out with my current childminder (nothing to do with the childminder herself - she's great). When divorcing my ex, during mediation he agreed to pay half the childcare costs. However, this hasn't worked out and he's refused to pay half the childcare costs every week so far, leaving me to pick up the bill for most of the childcare, (which I can't afford).
So I am thinking of removing myself from the situation and getting a new childminder and paying her for when I need her and ex can sort his side of the childcare out himself. Does anyone have any experience of this? I'm really reluctant to move them to a new childminder but I just can't afford his share of the childcare as well as my own!
I'm not sure if I've explained myself very well, but hopefully someone might have experience of dealing with an ex like mine!
