Ex H moving in with girlfriend

Have posted about my ex before who is quite frankly a total twat. Controlling and abusive throughout our marriage and is acting the same towards my daughter who is 16. She has gone low contact with him as she's fed up of how he treats her.

She found out last weekend that he's moving in with his GF of just over a year. When she goes to stay with him she'll be sleeping in a makeshift dining room bedroom. Also her house is a lot further away from the school she goes to and it's going to make the school run around an hour.

I feel like he's not putting her first in this scenario - there was no consultation about it, he just dropped it on her at a week's notice. My other objection is that I've never even met this woman who is now going to be living with my daughter part time. He doesn't seem to think there's any need for us to meet.

I have remarried but went about things in a totally different way - we were together for 5 years before he moved in with me and my ex met him lots of times.

Am I wrong to think this is a recipe for disaster and it's going to push my daughter further away from her dad?

FYI @incrediblysadtoo my daughter was 14 when I decided to get married so not a young child at all. I think it's courtesy to inform the ex of any big changes like that where there are kids involved. Incidentally, my husband's ex has just decided she's marrying her girlfriend and we found out via his 12 year old! I must have different standards to a lot of people.

He doesn’t pay any maintenance?

That is terrible. Why don’t you get onto the courts?

The consequences of his actions are in his reduced relationship- you can’t stop that or appease that in any way. DD is old enough now.

My Ex never had a bedroom for our DS. Now DS rarely sees him but he still thinks he’s Dad of the year. Very sad really.

He paid a nominal amount of maintenance for years as he also pays school fees. That's now stopped and he expects me to cover everything else.
