Divorce & money

[Ellypoo]

Going through divorce, does anyone have any idea why stbxh has started to ask the exact breakdown of stuff he paid for months ago (e.g. Bday party or s

He may be completing his Form E. Have you not done one?

Hello everyone. What do you do if your ex husband is late with maintenance payments? I have an issue with when my ex pays me. He pays me on the first of the month, but, if, as this month, the first is a Saturday, the bank don't transfer his money to me-leaving me with no money until tomorrow. I have raised this with him. It isn't clear whether he is personally doing the transfer of money via his internet banking, or whether it's a standing order. He says he doesn't know! Which really annoys me because he's the most astute person with his finances-penny pinching, in fact and has a very tight rein on his cash ! He also earns a huge amount. He gets £700 per day!!!! Unbelievable, I know!
I have asked if the money can go into my account at the end of the month instead-as that's when a lot of my utilities direct debits go out , but he refuses. He says he already pays me in advance.
It's bloody annoying. Doubly so, because it's not for the lack of money on his part-that I would understand.
Also, he only has our 3 children for one evening per week -not a night and every other weekend. He collects them in the week, after his commute back from London, at about 7pm. And frequently says he has to take them shopping for their tea, as he works such long hours , he doesn't have time to shop. This really makes me angry. The children have to wait a long time for him to get back from work and they're hungry, the last thing they want to do is go shopping! Of course, they snack on food with me until he arrives. I have had this out with him. He says it's none of my business. I say it is, because he's not putting the children first. I have suggested internet shopping to him, but he says he would have to be at home to accept it! So he's never at home then? He works 24 hours a day!! Ridiculous ! I very often go out shopping at 10 pm or at 7 am. There's no excuse.
I would be grateful for your thoughts. Thank you.

It's a bank thing. Standing orders don't go out on a weekend. Mine does the same. It's annoying but not something he can help I think
