My soon to be ex wife is continually moving the goal posts with rgard to our divorce, we had agreed all financial side of things after lots of wasted time and negotiaion.
I pay cms money through cms and happy to do so.
However she is now trying to add nominal maintenance
This was the final straw as she continues to move the goal posts.
I know she will manipulate this as she is claiming benifits plus working 16 hrs plus lots of cash in hand jobs
My question is has anyone successfully repealed a nominal maintenance order?
Thus has nothing to do with our son as I will do anything for him I can.
I just don't want her to get any more as she is so wasteful and doesn't even spend the money I give her on our son.
Thanks in advance
Dan
Is she trying to negotiate spousal maintenance or just wants a nominal maintenance order in the settlement?
If it's the latter, it doesn't necessarily mean you will be paying extra now but it does allow a return to court in the future if circumstances change.
If she wants spousal maintenance and you won't agree to that, she can make an application to the court for that & it will be up to a judge to decide.
If you paying child maintenance via CMS, then I don't think the court will consider child maintenance, so I'd say this is spousal maintenance. I would get advice, but my thoughtd are that you want a clean break order.
