I feel sick, ex just called to say reducing maintenance

[LargeGlassofRed]

in a state of panic, exh is on 35000 s year.
He has the 3 dc's every other week for 3 nights.

He was giving me 415 per month he now says due to having to pay more tax because of his company car he will only be giving me 215 per month.

Doesn't seam right at all, but he won't have it.

I was expecting something like this as I told him last week Dp and I are getting married.

Tmesis- that's a good point, it just doesn't seem right it should drop so much.

Company cars really do make a huge difference to what you take home. Do you know whether he can opt out, or is it a company he has to have one?

Giving someone a company car is an increase in their salary and benefits package, that's why his tax has gone up so much. So he should be dealt with as if he's earning a lot more, thousands of pounds a year more. It should surely be neutral to you.

Well I don't know how company cars are factored into maintenance but I do know they can make a massive difference to what you take home. And not everywhere will let you opt out.

His boss is also his best friend and possibly? New partner, which complicates things more, as he can be the master manipulator.

Doesn't seem right ...DH on around £30,000 and pays exactly that amount for one DC who comes here over 52 nights a year - calculated via the CSA website.

Were you married?

Yes were married 10 years, separated 4.5 years ago. Not had any problems for a while, but was dreading telling him about getting married.
Even though he left me for ow he hates it when anything positive is happening for me.

Clean break order?

I've not heard of that planet

During your divorce if you didn't get a clean break order assets from the marriage Inc pensions can be divided up - disclaimer I think!

Not a fan really but if he's trying to swerve giving you money then it's an option to see a solicitor re any marital assets.
