A year ago my (now) OH agreed a consent order without proper legal advice, in the midst of struggling with ill-health and his divorce. He agreed a clean break settlement and maintenance for his children, paid to his ex wife, until his children are 22. His sons are 18 and 20, and have left home to be at university and in work. His ex is now selling the family home, realising the substantial equity contained therein, and moving away. My OH lives very modestly close to the former family home and is struggling to meet his own financial needs month to month, as well as giving his kids money for extras. He wants to support his kids but he does not want to continue to fund his wife's over-extended lifestyle (which was one of the causes of the divorce). He would like to make his payments directly to his children. Is this reasonable and/or possible. He can't bear the thought of legal battles, nor can he afford it.
