So current situation:
We’ve been separated for 6 weeks. I’ve applied for divorce
Last month he didn’t pay the mortgage so i had to cover it. He’s since given me half back
I applied for child maintenance which is due 1 Nov, this will be 3 months after he left the home and he’s given me no maintenance up to then
He’s finally agreed to pay the mortgage next month as I am on unpaid maternity leave but he’s saying he doesn’t have to pay child maintenance if he’s paying the mortgage. He’s applied for a variation to child maintenance. I’ve explained to them we are divorcing and he will get equity out the house. I’ve had a solicitor tell me I am entitled to claim for both! However they say he is entitled to apply for a variation but it will take 3-4 months and he has to pay me what has already been agreed in the meantime
I need 3 months child maintenance payments to get another mortgage so I can’t sell the house until I get them. Now he’s applied for the variation I’ll never have the 3 months full maintenance to prove to a lender?! It all seems very confusing and doesn’t make sense
Is there any way around this?! Do I ask him to only oh half the mortgage and the full child maintenance so I can get another mortgage?
He’s dragging his feet with the divorce so I’m not sure what he’s playing at as he originally wanted the divorce and the house to be sold
