My husband and I have recently separated so nothing has been sorted yet. He has moved out of our home and I have stayed with our 1 year old. I am paying utilities and he is paying the mortgage. I have asked for child maintenance and he says he cannot afford it.
Is he exempt from paying child maintenance because he's paying the mortgage? He has said the only way he can afford payments is if we sell the house, but me and our child obviously need a place to live and ideally I do not want to sell.
I know housing etc will need to be sorted out later down the line when we divorce but he hasn't lived here for a couple of months now and hasn't paid anything towards the care of our child. Is he exempt?
