Ex taking photos of partners car, why?

[dalmationdotty]

Why would by EH take photos of my current partners car when it’s parked on my drive?
He knows I am with someone else, I told him. And he knows their car. But why take photos of his car? I haven’t asked him yet as I don’t want to get my DD into trouble with him (she came across the pics). I told her its nothing to worry about. Should i worry?

Are you on benefits? Is your partner moved in and you haven't told the authorities

Checking his insurance car tax and mot status?

Are you on benefits??

Proof that you have a new partner if you are going through divorce proceedings?

is it about claiming he’s living at yours?

Yes it's probably to make some claim that you are living together. This can affect many things: maintenance or child benefit for example.

Not living with my DP and I’m not on benefits. No plans for DP to move in either. He stays over when my kids aren’t here. My ex and I share 50:50 custody but divorce not final yet. I get child maintenance from him but no spousal and I pay all the bills/mortgage on my house (prev marital home).
Maybe it’s evidence but as my DP not living here, am I not allowed to have him stay over at all?
EH wants me to sell the house but we are still looking at financials.

If you arent divorced, its adultery.

Exh may be under the impression that you technically committing adultery, will sway the divorce.

It wont.

He’s probably checking the reg to see if your dp is insured and MOTed - just trying to stir up trouble I would imagine.

Establishing the case your DP is there overnight and frequently enough to be considered resident. Plus he may want to find out more the man is who is living in what is still partly his house with his children. Even if you claim otherwise it may be what he believes.

If he thinks you are claiming benefits he might be saving up 'evidence' to threaten to report you to the authorities, to make you do things his way.

How old is DD? What did she say?

If she's young enough to have mentioned it innocently, I'd be asking him.

I’m not claiming benefits and I’m not asking for spousal maintenance
We’ve been living apart for nearly 2 years. He has a gf who he has been with for over 6 months.
We were separated for nearly a year before a started seeing my current partner.
It’s just odd.
Photos taken fairly recently I think?
And I’ve been using my DP car as mine has been in the garage for over 2 weeks getting repaired and I told my EH this too.
I am going to text him and ask him outright tomorrow wtf is he playing at.

Attach a photo of his gf's car.

If you still haven’t sorted out your divorce finances out, he could be looking for proof that your partner is living with you.

If you are still in the FMH - he could use the evidence to claim you are living with your new partner.

Could be planning to get someone to torch his car.

Could be looking up value of his car so he himself can get a more expensive car.

Could be trying to zoom in and read the stickers to ascertain if he's a vegan.

Ask him. We can't know.

My exh was under the impression once my partner moved in he no longer had to pay child support.

Yours could be under the same illusion so is trying to evidence your new BF is resident
