To take the money back?

[WoWoWorrier]

ExH moved out 2 years ago. When he moved out we agreed he would have the kids at the weekends and he said he should have one of the kids CB/CTC. I agreed as the breakup was implemented by me and I felt guilty.

Money has been a struggle lately and I pay for everything. Uniforms. Trips. Clothes. Shoes. Kids household things. He does nothing but spend the money on a bit of frozen junk food for their weekends. I'm considering stopping them going overnight for other reasons. He is depressed and not got the handle on things anymore he needs to have to look after the kids and he is turning to alcohol and weed too much.

I called CB/CTC and had the payments moved back to me.
WIBU? Part of me feels it was right but I feel guilty too.

If you're the resident parent, then yes it should come to you.

Yanbu.

He should also be paying child support, the amount depending on how much he has them/income etc.

CTC/CB is for the resident parent, not to sweeten the deal in the event of a separation.

Thankyou. I feel much better.

I wouldn't ask for maintaince as he is on benefits because of illness which makes his depression worse. It would be pennies anyway.
