I've been wondering how this may work in the future over dp possibly moving in?

It's my house with a mortgage (still shared with my exh) but hoping he will come off the mortgage soon, and currently I pay all utility and house bills.
Has anyone had a dp move in with his own 2 dcs coming to stay maybe a few times a week down the line and how did you split bills?

Dp will still largely support his exw financially, a large chunk of his wage as she works pt but I'm assuming claiming tax credits and such.
Sorry if I'm being nosey but I just wondered what's fair.

I think you have to take all the regular costs of keeping the household on the road plus the irregular costs like groceries and decide what is a fair share based on your relative incomes. Realise he has financial commitments but, if you're going to be a family, he also has a responsibility to pull his weight with you.
