Hi everyone, yet another post from me.
my STBXH and I have very different salaries. This obviously wasn’t an issue when we were together, but he earns an awful lot more than me. I’ve gone FT since separating so I’m in a better position when we both buy our new homes. But I’m worried the children would prefer to spend time with him because they’ll have nicer things. STBXH drives a top of the range car and I’ll be driving a little run around, he can afford a much bigger house, probably nicer holidays. He’ll probably have a two person income if he moves in with OW whilst I’ll have a single income. Don’t get me wrong, working FT I’m on a nice income for a single person but still under half what he earns.
my question is, do your kids notice the difference if there is a big income difference? I have the kids 70% so he pays maintenance so I buy all the children’s stuff, clothes, shoes, hobbies etc.
