Child Maintenance AIBU?

[Thesafetygeneral]

My ex is golden on the whole and pays maintenance for his DC every month no issues. However, he wants to move the date from 1 of each month to the 15. I have no problem with that.
However, that means that the maintenance was paid on 1 Nov and now won’t be paid until 15 Dec so it’s 2 weeks short. I’m being accused of being penny pinching by asking him to pay the shortfall, but if it was any other bill then the pro-data amount would have to be covered.
Am I being a nightmare on this and unreasonable to ask for it? It’s leaving me two weeks without maintenance.

I could vote both ways on this.
If he is genuinely “golden” and you can cope I’d leave it.

There seems a bigger issue though and from what you say this is out of character.

Why does he want to change the date? Is one has that two week buffer for something else?

This all suggests something else is going on that I would try and establish before pushing too far. it’s not worth harming an otherwise good relationship over to me.
