Csa payments killing me

Hello all.  Any advice would be much appreciated.

divorced dad with two kids 10 and 6. 
they stay over night with me every Friday. And more in school holidays. I buy them all the things they need at my house, of course I do. It’s what you do right.

my csa payments are 330 a month. I earn 35k a year. I can only afford a small two bed house (1000k) a month rent. Can’t afford to drive. Basically just scraping by without going into further detail. If that.

my ex. Is with a new partner and even have a new child together.

the two of them can afford to drive a top of the line Audi each. Live in an affluent area. Mortgage mostly paid. Even looking to move to a bigger house.

I can not maintaine the standard of life my kids have with their mother. It’s just impossible. 

what can I do here?
