Not to give back money to my ex

My ex gave me some money a few years ago for my kids. He then demanded it back and without going into details of what a nasty piece of work he is I decided to say no. He is now taking me to small claims court claiming it was a loan. Has anyone else encountered a man so low that he takes back money from his children?

Or maybe people think I should just give it back... I actually don't think he expects to win in court cos I have the emails from when he gave it to me and was very clearly not a loan... Think he just wants to harrass and stress me.
The real thing I want to try to understand is how this and everything else he does seems reasonable to his new partner. Anyone else think this sounds like a reasonable way to treat mother of your child?

Btw at the time he gave me this money he was not paying child maintenance and hadn't done so for many years. I finally claimed for CM via CMS last year but he is now refusing pay that too.

Relax OP, he'll be laughed out of court should it ever get that far, let him spend his money trying to get a pitiful amount.

Attend court, take your cms paperwork,and proof of costs of case if you have any. He will be responsibke for your costs when he loses. Claim them in your counter claim. Any money he gave you was in lieu of unpaid maintenance.
