I've posted about my ex and money numerous times over the years. He pays no/v little child support due to low income but manages to find money for things he wants. I'm due to pay him £10k when ds2 is 21 (6 years) as the final tranche of his share of assets from when we split.
He bought a house outright with an inheritance 3 years ago and I believe has now released some equity (if that's the right term)from it. He has offered to put £10k into the kids' bank accounts if I cancel the CMS claim as he now seems to be earning a bit better and they have told him he has to pay £80 per week. I said I'd cancel it if he gave the kids £10k AND legally wrote off the £10k I'm due to give him. He didn't reply.
Then dc came home from contact saying dad has spent £800 on tickets for this coming weekend! This is for ex and one child as the other isn't fussed about TS. So not only is it a ridiculous amount of money to spending when you don't pay for the basics and never have, it's unfair on the dc as other child isn't getting anything.
He told me he'd borrowed money to help with kids uni costs but neither of them will even be at uni until next year and he is pissing this borrowed money away and sticking two fingers up at me and effectively getting me to subsidise his 'generosity.'
There's nothing I can do and I am happy for the dc getting to go, but AIBU in thinking he's a massive bellend now more than ever?
