Hi all - hoping someone might have some insight on this. I have sole residence of my two children by court order. Their father was fired from his job and has refused to seek work for 8 months now in an attempt to financially disrupt our lives.
Previously, he had worked for 15 years in finance and had stable job history. He has been living off his new girlfriend I understand and capital from our split assets after divorce.
As he works in finance, and refused to pay maintenance even when he was working (we were mid court processes to force the matter when he was fired), I think he would likely move to being a self employed
contractor if / when he does eventually return to work. He will do anything to avoid CM as he seems to think the money is for me, and not for his children.
I am struggling financially with the costs of divorce and raising the children with no financial support from the other parent.
If he does become self employed, does anyone have any experience of how to seek CM in this situation? How would I even know if he does get work as we have no contact at all or people in common (other than kids who he only sees for short periods of supervised contact every 2 weeks).
Many thanks.
