Stbex is booking appointments for work in the evening basically as if he is still married and has full family support.
I have four children, he is planning a week away once a month.

If I say anything he claims he is doing this for the children but the reality is I will only see a third of his salary so all this extra work benefits him not me let's be honest.
I will also have to work full time to keep our heads above water for the next six months whilst he gets off the ground.

I feel utterly shafted yet again.

And if he doesn't succeed it'll all be for nothing and ill have a friggin break down.

Any advice ?

Move out?

Say no?

Move him out if you can legally (whilst he's away if he disagrees)?

mosman I have read some of your other threads and I know you must be running out of steam anyway with everything.
Of course he will say it is for the benefit of DC but I feel if you argue against, it would be a waste of what little energy you have, as you know he will not back down.
All you can do is plan what is best for you with the situation as it is.
The 50/50 shared care brigade make me laugh as if you don't offer it you are flamed and then if you do and the NRP says no thanks, then they say, hard lines. Keep a note of all communications, in writting if possible. As you will sort things out and then when he sees it's working for you he will try and distrupt or change his mind and again it will all be because he wants what is best for the DC not what is really is which is him pleasing himself. Keep stong.
