Advice needed please: dealing with awful selfish ex

[Mumof1boy1girl]

My daughters dad and I split up over 10 years ago and to say it’s been hard work dealing with him is an understatement. I am literally counting down the days until he has no control over me.
In the last couple of months we have had a break down in communication as he refuses to help pay for my daughter school bus which costs me £800 and he refuses point black to help me pay for this,he pays me £136 a month for maintenance (pathetic I know). So he has stuck my daughter right in the middle. Next thing I know he is taking me to court for her passport to go on holiday, which is fine it’s not the first time. I have received details of the holiday and it’s £1400 per person for the holiday thats for him,his gf, her child, my child and his other child from prev marriage so I’m total it will cost £6700. This was only booked last month. So my question or advice I am looking from really is how can I get him to help pay for her school bus and general upbringing if he has this kind of money knocking around? Thanks in advance 😘

Your confusing things OP.

Him talking you to court for the passport without even asking you only makes him look foolish.

He doesn’t need to ask your permission to take his child on holiday nor do you need his permission for when you take your child on holiday.

The cost of the bus issue is separate, the maintenance is separate, if he’s on 32k and supporting 3 children, then his CM payment will be correct, yes it’s a paltry sum however that’s what’s CM has advised he needs to pay based on his earning and supporting his other child/ren.

Unfortunately that’s something you need to get over, he also doesn’t need to provide any other financial support as much as it would be nice, he isn’t going to do so.

What he spends his income in has frankly nothing do to with you, it’s none of your business.

Your wasting your time and effort over issues that you have no say on or control over, focus on the things you can control.
