To feel bad for Helen Flanagan here?

she’s being made to sell their home and work, taking jobs she wouldn’t normally, and being away from her kids?

I know some of you are gonna be like ‘poor little rich girl’ 😂😂😂 but honestly, what kind of man is this?? Feel for her a little (from my own, much lower, tax bracket)

She was a fool to choose to be a stay at home mum when they weren’t married it’s his house he wants to sell it he has a right to do that and if she has to go out to work aww diddums millions of women have to go out to work to provide for their kids what makes her so special that she shouldn’t have to do anything to provide for them and he should pay for everything. He’s under no legal obligation to provide for his ex girlfriend as well as 3 kids he only needs to provide for them and he’s not trying to make them homeless he just wants them to move to somewhere smaller and more affordable for him which is fair enough.

To be fair maybe these interviews are paying for her deposit and she doesn’t have anything to sell apart from this story

Yeah I’d take the house - but the lack of child support though 😬😬😬😬, especially as she is the main parent

Surely he has no way to make her forgo child support if she’s looking after the children- she’d just go to CSA?

That’s not how it works legally. He had no legal relationship with her. Never had any legal obligation to financially support her.
If you want a legal relationship then you need to marry or civil partnership. They were adults and chose not to.

And this is why people who say marriage is just a piece of paper or doesn’t matter, are wrong.

I’d take the no maintenance with a pinch of salt. There will be a claim under pt 1 children’s Act where parent is a high earner. It’s a negotiation then ultimately court decision.
So he might be saying I’ll give you £500,000 for a house in your name, school fees and csa level maintenance. She might want 6 bed, bills paid, school fees and additional maintenance.

Yes, it's awful

Ask Andy Murray why he is no longer playing tennis and winning Wimbledon. Is he ill or just useless?

(I hope for your sake that you are not seriously questioning why a 36 year-old footballer is no longer playing for a top club.)

I agree, not sure I believe the zero maintenance claims.

Why is it his fault she is short of money? As long as he is paying for the kids then he's in the clear. She's always whining in the media. She just needs to get on with it.

😂😂 that’s not the same thing

and Andy Murray’s job isn’t just a tennis player, he has various endorsements etc

She also has a decent social media following. As someone with a significant (but very much lower) following, I know how much she will be earning just from that alone. She absolutely is rich.

It was, as long as she had an agreement with someone that he'd be the earner while she did that. The agreement has ended. She might also have decided she wanted to work at any time.

I respect people's choices but this is why I couldn't ever give up work completely. I'd be so vulnerable if I were entirely financially dependent on someone who might choose to stop, or become unable to continue. No able adult of working age is entitled to be completely supported by someone else.

I have a professional career and a deadbeat ex who declares an income of £5k a year and has them EOW. So no maintenance.

It’s fucking hard, yes. I post regularly on here about how shit it is. I still don’t believe single mums must necessarily be funded by their ex to sit at home all day. It’s not realistic. In fact, I am enabling my ex to sit in his arse, just in a different way.

This is an example of a pt 1 claim. Kyle Walker re the two children he had with a girlfriend.
She was asking for all sorts but most was refused. She also didn’t get a property, she’ll need to house herself once children reach adulthood.

This house is in his name, he also pays all of the bills. He has offered to buy her a 4 bed in her name. He has shared custody of the kids, so yes it's sad she only gets to see them 50% of the time but then why should he get to see them less of the time.
She is already talking about wanting to someone new, so can't expect her ex to pay for her new bloke to live in a house he is paying for.

They had a relationship that played out in the tabloids and it was blatantly obvious he was messing her about and blowing hot and cold throughout. Why she had three children with him only she knows.

He had premier league money that is now second division money and he isn’t prepared to prop up her lifestyle. Quite a lot of these actresses/pop stars end up with footballers thinking it’s a lucrative and exciting lifestyle but it ends up being high paying for a short time and then a precarious grind long term, particularly if they aren’t trained to do anything else.

Absolutely

And this. FAFO. She's not the sharpest. Why have three children with him if he's as bad as that? I doubt he is, though. I'm not saying he's dad of the year but she's no prize either.

It reminds me of the film ‘he’s just not that into you.’

It is a job. But that's usually only possible by the privilege of two people living together as a couple and one earning well. Why should he provide that for her when they are now separated? I do agree he should provide a significant financial contribution for the children based on his wages. But not to the extent that she never has to work

Thats really cute, but the definition of a job is “a paid position of regular employment”.

I’ve meet her a few times. Honestly lovely down to earth lady, has her hands full with the kids and just doing her best like we all are xx

Yes but not when you need money! Otherwise we would all love to do that!
