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?

Aye - ExW pays for nursery fees whilst she is at work, she receives tax credits

DP is self employed and some money are not declared for CSA purposes.

I'm bored now. It's just working it's way though The OW's little book of Goad.

SoThatHappened · 25/03/2016 22:37

So he is a criminal as well as a liar and cheat.

Does he declare it all to HMRC?

NickiFury · 25/03/2016 22:37

This is utter BS.

And do you think that is fair, OP? Given what you know of his actual earnings, and what he spends on himself, would you think £110 is a fair contribution towards caring for your own children if, just for example, he were to leave you for someone else in a year or two?

PrimalLass · 25/03/2016 22:37

You must be on a wind up.

99percentchocolate · 25/03/2016 22:37

Some money is not declared? He hides his money from them in order to avoid paying child maintenance?

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 25/03/2016 22:38

💩💩💩💩

thecatfromjapan · 25/03/2016 22:38

I'm not surprised he finds it difficult to disclose all his earnings: they have risen twice during the length of this thread!

What do you do?

TheDuchessOfArbroathsHat · 25/03/2016 22:38

I can't say what I want to say to you OP on account of I'll get my arse slapped again so instead I'm just going to watch and wait. Patience is a virtue - or so I'm told.

Oh - just before I nod off 1/10 for effort. This is frankly pisspoor but you seem to know what buttons to press so crack on and knock yourself out!

GooseberryRoolz · 25/03/2016 22:38

OP the only advice you need is;

YOU ARE A TWAT.

Littlefish · 25/03/2016 22:38

Denies she is/was the OW - tick
DP was in an unhappy marriage - tick
Ex W is "wacko" - tick
Ex W doesn't realise that the new couple are meant for each other - tick
Ex W is completely unreasonable - tick
DP avoids paying adequate child maintenance - tick
Private school mentioned - tick
Salary mentioned - tick
Ex W claiming benefits - tick
Appeal to the "sisterhood" - tick

All that's missing is a reference to Parent and child parking spaces a 4X4 car and breastfeeding -v- formula!

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 25/03/2016 22:39

Avoids child maintenance, no doubt avoiding tax too. Sounds quite the load of old cobblers catch Hmm

@Littlefish and refugees!

Reported

thecatfromjapan · 25/03/2016 22:42

but against the super-rising income, we have the home that re-located along the Piccadily line at great speed.

I guess it's all swings and roundabouts.

Alisvolatpropiis · 25/03/2016 22:43

He doesn't declare some of his income to avoid providing for his child.

Hope you recognise that if he ever leaves you that he'll do the same to your two imaginary children.

Littlefish · 25/03/2016 22:43

Ha ha Noshow - I can't believe that one hasn't come out yet! Grin
