I live in the UK with my wife and children. I want to go back to my home country for a few months to take care of my old parents and myself as well(i am suffering from wife induced depression).
My wife demands i pay her £1000 per month or she will stop me from going to native country, but how she will stop me she would not tell....
Currently i pay 2/3rds of the expenses leaving me with very little savings and she only pays the a third of the household expenses and was able to save more of her salary. She treats me pretty badly.
I will not be able to pay as i will be leaving my job. She wants me to pay it from my saving, note that she works and has as much saving as i do.
I told her i am happy to take the children to my native country and take care of them and their education as it only cost a fraction of what it cost in UK. She refuses that offer.
How can she stop me from going to India or make me pay if i do when i have no income?...i mean what legal avenues she has to stop from doing so?
Will be grateful for any advice on this matter.
Hi There,
.
I don't think he has any grounds to stop you from going, she may have grounds to claim money from you whilst you are are away which may be from your savings, but that would depend on how much you have in savings in the first place.
.
I am guessing that you have a private agreement on what you pay her so it may be worth contacting CMS and asking them for some advice, they would be able to give you all of the details that you would need to be abe to make the right decision.

Thanks for replying.
I have aroumd 20k in saving and she has a simlar amount in saving.
And she gets 2k salary per month enough which should sufficient to run the house.
As you are still married and living together, I don't think maintenance is the issue at the moment. However, if you go back to your parents for a few months, at that point I presume you are separating, so you may well be looking for somewhere else to live and getting contact with your children when you return.
