Hi,
The mother of my children decided to pull our son out of mainstream school Feb22 to which I disagreed with but had no choice. I went along with it for the sake of keeping our family together. However there was sufficient homeschooling happening and we both after a chat decided to part ways.
Since parting ways and offering mother of children the house to stay in until youngest child turns 18 (she doesn’t work) or 6 months rent upfront elsewhere, she moved 4 hours away to be near her mum. I have the children every weekend Friday to Sunday and spend £550 a month in fuel to collect and drop the kids off as she doesn’t drive. I’ve been doing this for 6 months whilst paying £200 maintenance to her.
the mother of my children has now decided to go through CMS who are seeking £530 maintenance, whilst I have no issue paying my way for the children I can’t afford to pay £550 fuel bill And £530 maintenance. I’ve spoken to CMS who have said that they will take £70 off the maintenance a month to help with fuel. This still leaves me way short and to the point where I can’t afford to see the children every weekend financially. has anyone else experienced this ? If so any advice would be great, thank you
