Expecting ex to pay.

[Vauxhallvulva]

My exh and I have one child. We have been divorced for 7 years. He is remarried and living the life of Riley in a big house, dual income. I was the higher earner but lost my job last year. I. Don't want to find another just now and don't see why I should struggle with no maintenance. We share our DD 50/50. If I go through CMS will they make him pay despite the fact we have a clean break order?

Reverse. Obviously.

Reverse. Hope so anyway.
Not a chance. Get a job.

You give women a bad name. Get a job you lazy cow.

It's cheeky if his wife's ex is paying. I'd be annoyed too

If his wife's ex is paying either maintenance for children or spousal maintenance, why does that have any relevance to OP and her ex? They had a clean break order (7 years ago!!!!!) and presumably the lack of spousal maintenance was reflected in the split of assets. Spousal maintenance tends to be short-term in all but exceptional cases anyway.

OP, if you're not earning and reliant on benefits, your ex should be stepping up to make sure your DD doesn't miss out on things because you can't afford them. He's a parent and one responsibility parents have is to make good the shortfalls of the other parent when they fail to provide adequately. But it's not his responsibility (especially after 7 years) to pay for you.

Right-o!

You sound very entitled

You need to grow up and get a job. Stop trying to sponge of your ex husband because you're jealous of the life he now leads

To be honest it sounds like he had a lucky escape

You're joking, yes? Pp say why would you get anything as you have 50 50 custody and you ask in your next post if it's worth going to the csa?

@Vauxhallvulva

I have had to give up my job as my mental health is too bad because of not seeing my DD all the time. The exes wife's ex paid for her so he should pay for my only child surely?

So your ex husbands new wife was paid maintenance by her ex husband, is that right?

Maybe she had her children 90% of the time so was entitled to it.

Maybe her ex husband felt it appropriate to pay more towards his children.

This is by the by, if you have shared custody then you are not entitled to anything unless your husband actually wants to give you money.

You may not like it but it is how it is. Throwing a tantrum isn't going to change the law.

Life is unfair for many people, I have poor mental health at times so I work full time to keep my brain organised and occupied.

You need to either go back to work or accept that you won't have them life of Riley' whilst you prioritise you're mental health.

What are you wanting him to pay for? Does he contribute equally to clothes, shoes, hobbies etc?

How old is your DD?
I think you really need to sort yourself out.

There are literally millions of single mothers who are able to do it alone. Many with an absent father and no maintenance.
Put your big girl pants on and get a job.

If its 50 50 you won't be entitled to cms.

If you want more money then get a job.

Your post makes my blood boil. You expect your ex to pay for you cos you "don't feel like getting a job right now". Disgraceful.
