Hi,

I get CM from ex which I know I'm lucky to get, £300 a month.

I pay the nursery fee's for DD. Which are £800.

in school holidays DS goes to a holiday club few days a week, am I being unreasonable asking for half of this?
ex states he can't take time off, I need to work and on my days off I have them both as he supposedly can't.

school uniform, what do people tend to do for this?

im just feeling that I'm being left to pay quite abit, the money he pays helps towards bills, clothes and what the kids need, he refuses to pay anything towards mortgage which he's still on.

To OP

Is your ex work self employed or through a limited company? If yes, maybe you should ask for proof of his earnings and see copies of his accounts as self employed and directors of limited companies can control what they pay themselves.

CMS are not much help when dealing with such persons as they will not take into account unearned income (rental profits, dividends, interest on savings) unless you apply for a variation.
