Maintenance and exchange rates

[Jonnywilkinsonsswordsteaknife]

ExH pays maintenance in euros but I have to change them into sterling.
In the last six months the value of euros has dropped so that the exchange leaves me £15 worse off a month than six months ago.

The lady at the PO suggested I ask him to do a money transfer so that the amount I receive is constant and he bears any variation in cost.

I am just wondering how other people manage exchange rates?

exH is coming for a visit at the end of the month and he will, probably, be understanding of the situation, but I don't want to take the piss.

of is it the value of sterling that has dropped? Well you know what I'm getting at.

HI Have recently got divorced after ex H left me for secretary - we have 4 year old dd.. when he first left he gave me no address and wasnt really interest in having dd, in the last year since moving in with his GF he now wants overnight access wednesday every week and then every other week Friday - Monday - firstly I feel totally robbed of being a full-time mum - I became a mother so I could watch my dd grow up and be there for as many minutes of it as possible.. I feel that because my ex H Couldnt be faithful I have to now sacrifice xmas, birthdays and so much more - I have now got a letter from his solicitor saying he is taking me to court for the above access which I feel is far to much for my dd who is only 4 and 1 week to be away from me plus never ever wanted to be part-time mum - any advice on what access he is likely to get would be grateful as i have very little money to defend myself - and fed up with the whole situation thanks in advance x

Sorry posted in reply should of been new thread! x

Hi, it's up to your ex to ensure you receive the agreed amount each month in your own currency. I had similar experience and my maintenance went down by over 120 euro per month when sterling was at its weakest against the euro. It's impossible to budget unless you know exactly what you're getting.
