The plan was for both children to atten fee paying schools. Our eldest has already started and out youngest is due to follow in September 2018. He has now refused to continue paying fees unless I remain in our current town. This is completely unreasonable on his part, as he is moving 35 miles back to London anyway. And I would like to move 50 miles away to be closer to my family. He won't stop the move but he is being incredibly difficult about it.

Ordinarily I would apply for a bursary and fund it myself but as he has PR he will be required to be on any school application and be jointly liable. And he has other assets which will prevent our children from being eligible for a bursary. His net income is circa 80k and he will be paying basic rate of maintenance and most likely nominal maintenance whilst my income is £17000 gross as I've been at home with the children for 6 years.

How likely would it be to get an order to pay school fees?
