Can a mother of a child, go after my ex-boyfriend's, new American wife for child support in London England? And does it matter whether she has dual citizenship?
hello. child support is based on the income of the parent and not their partner. who you live with can affect household budgets, which does impact spousal maintenance. this is a separate area of law however.
I have two children that live with my ex and her new partner, who shes been with for 18 months. We are selling the house as dividing the assets equally. I earn 80k and she earns around 20k. I pay cms each month of £900 to her also. Once the house is sold we will carry out the financial order and finalise the divorce. My ex is not interested in spousal support, but is it likely that the court would force me to pay it anyway?
Hello Tom - it's not a simple one to answer I'm afraid. The court may question why no spousal agreement is in place, depending on the full financial picture and budgets, but it depends on so many factors. If you both agree a clean break would be better, then you may just need to convince the judge of this. They would not just order spousal maintenance without a hearing. Both sets of household budgets would be key to this though. Hope that helps a little :)
its a disgusting practice , once the assets are divided and you don't have children together why should you have to support your ex in any way? They don't have a right to your money or to the lifestyle they are used to .
Hello Malus. When married, you fall under family law and the Marital Causes Act. That is all based on need and the Section 25 factors. This includes considering whether there is a need for any ongoing payments between you once divorced. We wish you all the best in your situation.
Hi, just wondering if spousal maintenance is permitted prior to mediation if both parties agreed or will it not be allowed til financial disclosure and agreement
@@k2datrack Unfortunately there are many young men about to get married that do not know what they are signing themselves up for. I got married at 24 years old and had never heard of spousal maintenance until I separated with my wife 14 years later.

I agree it's rubbish. But there's a solution: Don't get married. Simple. Marriage is an archaic practice that doesn't benefit men anyway so no point
