So I was named as a correspondent in a divorce petition

DP divorced W in Jan 2015 (separated in April 2013, divorce petition issued in Feb 2014 on the grounds on her unreasonable behaviour and granted in Jan 2015). In April 2015 I gave birth to our DD. I am pregnant now with our second DC due in July. My DP has a DSD who is 4 and she spends every alternate weekend with us. Last weekend she asked me whether I was having baby as my tummy is big - I told her that it was supposed to be a surprise for her and she will have a baby brother in summer. My DP also send e-mail to his ExW Fyi that DSD will have a baby brother. Yesterday in a post I received petition in a post dated and stamped by the court in April 2014 naming me as a correspondent in proceeding of DP divorce on the grounds of adultery with an original letter issued to ExW thatshe needs to amend petition as details of marriage certificate do not match. There was also a letter from ExW that she knew about me, she showed dignity by not pushing thru her petition and she let DP divorce her on unreasonable behaviour grounds as wanted to have it done and dusted. Adding that I as a woman and mother myself should show respect and dignity to DSD and have decency to tell her about pregnancy.
I assume that she originally wanted to name me in divorce proceedings and divorce DO on grounds of adultery but filled in petition incorrectly and did not resend it as DP has already issued his petition. But why is she sending this to me now - it is 3 years on since they separated. We are going to have our second baby and she is doing this out of spite. Shall I report her for nuisance?

this is disgusting and I think you need to know your place where his child is concerned.

I wish MN had a like button!

DayToDayGlobalShit · 25/03/2016 22:20

does he pay maintenance for his child with her?

Oh you're a massive twat you really are!

99percentchocolate · 25/03/2016 22:22

Wait - does he pay child maintenance for his daughter? Your last post reads like he doesn't or is trying to avoid doing so?

DotForShort · 25/03/2016 22:22

Oh, my.

BeeHive75 · 25/03/2016 22:22

Terrible attitude OP. I agree you seem to be devoid of empathy.

Yes he does. He is self employed - last year did not earn much so maintence is not high (100 pounds a month). We buy school uniform, clothes for DSD. We take her on holiday with us

Goady Fucker. Don't believe a word of this. Though sadly have known women with similar outlooks in RL so I suppose you can never really be sure.

DayToDayGlobalShit · 25/03/2016 22:25

your income is 300k plus and you pay 100 quid maintenance?

All that money between you and he chooses to give the legal minum during a good earning year because the CMS calculated the minimum based on a year of poor earnings? Your DP is a cunt and I have no think you're much better.

VertigoNun · 25/03/2016 22:27

There is a thread with a petition against NRP avoiding maintenance payments, it's in lone parents.

99percentchocolate · 25/03/2016 22:27

75k a year and he pays £100 per month?? The CSA calculator says he should be paying more than this amount per WEEK.
So, either you are lying about his 75k p/a income, or he isn't supporting his daughter properly.

So he earns 75k, but pays 100 per month maintenance?

Uh huh. Chinny reckon.

AyeAmarok · 25/03/2016 22:29

I take it you also pay his DD's private school fees too?

There was a deletion message? What did it say?

BuildingBlocks9 · 25/03/2016 22:32

DP pays around £110 per month via CSA. He also drives to location where DSD lives with ExW, down in south London. We take DSD on holiday (she went with us to US last summer). We buy her uniform and DP agreed to pay extracurricular gymnastics class for DSD (around £60 per month)
