Have a DD of 4 with ExH. He usually pays 15% of his net income in maintenance plus half of her nursery / school fees. I also work nearly full time.
He was made redundant 2 months ago. He used some of his redundancy pay to pay the maintenance for the 3 months, so next payment is due at end of June.
He lives 200 miles away and does not therefore help out at all with school holiday care / after school etc.
I spoke to him last night and he has not yet found another job. AIBU to be annoyed that hes only looking for jobs over a certain £ and in his chosen career? He's a solicitor, but should he not be looking for any work that puts money in the bank rather than holding out for the ideal job?
I'm scared to death that without the maintenance there is no way our DD can stay in the school she's currently in (and has been in since she was 6 months old). Also I would find bills / food etc very difficult to pay for without the maintenance.
I've asked him if his father could contribute at all (I know its not his responsibility) but my ExH has saidd he has no money.
I'm really angry because if I lost my job and then didnt take anything, but held out for a 'good job' then surely our DD would starve?
Any advice welcomed
