Ex Taking Son on Holiday...

3 replies

Hi All,

My ex is taking our three year old on holiday in June.
It's been booked since September and in the meantime things between my ex and I have been hugely difficult, to the point where I've had to send solicitors letters for abuse and harassment.

He now seems to have an expectation that I should buy new items for our son for their holiday, and essentially pack him a case of clothes too.
I'm wondering if I should, or leave it to him as it's their holiday?
I took our son away last summer and didn't get any help for all of the things he needed...he didn't even get ice cream money!

Am I being petty or should it work both ways?

Leave it to him.

Does he pay child maintenance?

He is taking him on holiday then he should buy and pack clothes. If you were on good terms I would say he had x number of t shirts and shorts and x number of swimming costumes and I will pop them in a carrier bag for you but this would be you being nice. Obviously I would pack comforter and a few favourite toys.

The wife works stops when you are nolonger together.

Thanks for your replies 😊
It's nice to know my thoughts aren't uncalled for!
He started paying CM last month
