Basically. My monthly income is not enough to cover my expenses. I rent in the city I work in full time. Circumstances changed since I first received aliment in that I'm now earning more but my expenses are higher too.
Ex is refusing to increase my aliment. It's not court mandated so just an informal agreement I guess. His lawyers have told him he's not obliged to pay anything! So every month I'm eating into my savings - a savings account that was in my sole name - I know this forms part of the matrimonial pot so really only 50% was mine.
I guess my question is, what do I do? My lawyer did exclaim ' this is what will take things to court ' rather than the financial settlement. Which is so far from being agreed I think it will be months/years before that's agreed.
