My maintenance was agreed in my divorce settlement a couple of years ago. My ex contacted me last week to ask could he reduce the monthly payments for the next few months whilst he is taking a 20% pay cut during this virus. It will be for a few hundred pounds. Now I work full time but only on a low wage. I am currently furloughed so will be receiving 80% myself. He is a director of a company and brings home approx 5x my salary. He also has a live in partner who earns approx 5x my salary as well so there is quite a bit of money going into that household. Obviously dont know their outgoings.
I have the 2 kids living with me and they see dad eow but with self isolating they haven't seen him for a few weeks. Plus I have an underlying health issue so it suits me them being here to avoid infections.
The reduction will leave it tight for money but i could survive. Would you accept the reduction???
