after a difficult divorce which cost me my home, thousands and almost my life through health, My ex is hounding me for extra money. After every thing she has cost me and the way i have been treated, just wondered what the wiki short answer to her is to get the message across, the kids will not miss out, its just all her bills etc are piling in and she thinks i am a money sponge, I pay above CM rates and will not be bullied into paying more so she can spend it on fags and vodka, ????

My ex tried this, she got 77% of house(large 4 bed det and all the houseold item, car etc) she even put a new kitchen in before the property transfer.

I started off from scratch. She keeps hounding me for money, saying kids need this and that. I pay the 20% cm, refuse to give any more she needs to know that i am not there to fund her "keeping up with the jonses" lifestyle. Down size and live within yre means. (by the way she works part time £800 pm) lives in a 250 k house

As I understand it there is no legal obligation to part with any additional money over and above the CM.

You could politely tell her to go see a solicitor if she wants more, that should stop her once she knows she has no entitlement to anything more from you now.

The alternative is to tell her to get stuffed and ignore her :laugh:

Or you could less than politely tell her that had you not had to go to court for years to see your own child you might have more money to give her.

Tell her she is the author of her own misfortunes and you are her cash cow no longer.

thanks guys appreciate it.
Of course had the divorce been amicable and fair and I didnt have to take her to court for access then yes any father, or mother who had spare cash would gladly led the kids have it for a better life, but.........

In what way is she hounding you - stopping access(just wait), threatening court action (ignore this), just asking(just say No)?

Basically just say a firm No once and then ignore till you have to act. Also you can go down to just paying the Cm rates and put the extra aside - that might shake her up.
