to expect my ex to pay for last years holiday !!!!!!!

[moosh]

Oooooooooohhhhhhhh I'm so MAD
Just split with partner of 10 years as it was my decision he is really angry at me.

Tried to discuss maintenance e.t.c. with him and told him that last years holiday hasn't been paid for and it is burning a big hole in my visa card and he needs to contribute towards it.

He has the bloody cheek to say he'd think about it. I only work Saturdays and will go full time in September when my youngest starts school, so how am I expected to pay it when his wages are considerably more !!!!!

I had to leave there tonight before I STRUNG HIM UP!!!!! He is going to leave me at least £1000 in debt and he knows his children will suffer because of it.

This sounds like the kind of thing that a new ex would to tbh. At the very least you need to get maintenance agreed with the legal minimum 15% for the first child and 5% each additional child up to 25% max.

Do you have many financial thinhs to sort like a mortgage? If so you need to start down the solicitor route really.

Regarding the holiday you could certainly talk to citizens advice to see how you stand.

Good luck!

I would think you need to start this new arrangement of separation with a clean slate, financially, which means he needs to settle up. Quick. Before interest starts mounting. Then get on to maintenance. Easier said than done, however, particularly if he's the "wounded" one!
