I have been co-habiting for 6 months and my ex has now stopped my spousal maintenance.
My new partner does not earn enough to support me (by that I mean pay the bills, rent, food etc) so we split everything 50/50.
I am now in a position that my wages and child support just cover my half of the rent but this leaves me with nothing at all to pay for food, petrol bills etc.
I only work part time - mostly due to the fact that my Ex's behaviour have left me with severe depression and anxiety which I struggle to overcome on a daily basis.
My question is can I take my ex back to court to try to get spousal maintenance to continue? He dragged the divorce out for 5 tears and got away paying me nothing for those 5 years and as our divorce only came through 2 years ago, he has only had to pay spousal maintenance for 2 years - he got off lightly.
I am not trying to make his life financially difficult, I am just trying to move on with mine and be able to put food on the table for my kids.
