My ex is suddenly trying to get a 50/50 custody agreement from me to allow him to apply for a council house. He never has the kids and I’m not going to write a fraudulent letter saying he does. My position is that if he wants to go to court for formal custody arrangements he needs to initiate that.
We have a financial agreement we both are happy with and need to fill out the D81 form but I note that there is a section on there asking where the children will live. I’m worried that he will put pressure on me to say 50/50 on here (despite him not having suitable accommodation at present) by refusing to sign it otherwise and then will use this for custody. I am trying to take the mortgage over and so need the consent order stuff done. Does anyone have experience of this where there is a financial agreement but suddenly a dispute over where the children live. Can anyone go live any advice?
