My son's mum and I both agreed that my 13 year old son would benefit from COVID Catch Up lessons in English and Maths during the summer holidays. I organised the sessions and paid for it myself with the overall cost being £280. My ex agreed at the outset in writing that she would pay half and then when it came to pay she said that she couldn't afford it because she had to pay for a new school blazer and new school shoes in the same month (which of course I pay maintenance for). Do I have any grounds to deduct what my ex agreed to contribute from the next Maintenance payment or is that going down a dangerous path.
Hi
Depend if you are paying through CM Service or have a private agreement.
If private then suggest it and negotiate. If via CMS then no grounds for deduction im afraid.
Thanks
