Those of you who are resident parents who do bulk of parenting and have child maintenance paid by ex, do you get any money for uniform costs beside usually monthly payment?
My ex pays the minimum amount through agreement which is written into court order from divorce. He is tight and always has been selfish with money. Bled me dry and spent 'His' money on prostitutes when we were married but that another story.
For the first time since ds started school three years ago, I asked if ex would pay half of costs. It was £100 plus this summer and I am skint from paying out for a summer of childcare and activities.
Ex paid half willingly to my pleasant surprise but has followed this 2 days later with a message to say I shop in sainsburys which isn't cheap, plus he's seen me on online dating which is a paid for site, so I shouldn't have to ask for him for money to clothe our child! I'm paraphrasing but it was less polite than that!
So aibu? Should I have included uniform costs in the money he gives me monthly?
