Can I ask fellow SM’s for some advice on CM (on behalf of my OH)?
2 years ago it was determined via the CMS calculator that my OH should pay £700 maintenance per month for his 2 children.
He had been paying considerably more than this for 3 years previous.
As part of the consent order (divorce finances) his EW asked for £75 more per month to ‘cover the children’s activities’. It was agreed (in court) that his EW wouldn’t ask for any more.
2 weeks after the court case she asked for more money. He reminded her what was agreed in court.
Recently his EW has started asking for more money again.
She asked for £500 for an activity she has signed one of the children up for (without any discussion with my OH, even though it affects his contact time). That’s a separate issue.
My OH agreed to pay £100 toward it and reminded her what was agreed in court.
WW3 has broken out (in the form of a vitriolic email). Normal for her.
She’s demanding to see his payslips.
My OH has checked the CMS calculator and is still overpaying every month (without this additional £100). I should add that he does buy clothes, pays for trips etc on top.
Can she demand to see his payslips or would she have to make a claim through the CMS)?
She’s also threatening that she’s going to tell the children that their dad won’t pay money so they can do things and he can explain his ‘pathetic’ contribution to them.
Any advice?
