consent order re maintenance at uni

sillywoman, I agree a child taking a parent to court is an awful position to put a child in but unless child maintenance was agreed as part of the overall divorce settlement it is the only option available for over 18s in education or training.

it is the only option available for over 18s.

Why is it the only option, they could get a job. I certainly wont be supporting my kids past 18 for the simple raeson thanks to my money grabbing ex I will be living in poverty.
May be she would like to put them through university.

I am not a money grabbiing ex, nowhere near. And I believed my ex when he said he would assist the girls through university, so that is why nothing was put in the Consent Order. It was a quick divorce and financial settlement, done and dusted in months.

The way I saw it was I am not prepared to fight someone over money, full stop. He is the bigger earner and always has been and unfortunately I have been made redundant (last November/December) desperately trying to get a job.

My oldest daughter at uni does promo work, but work is very little due to the recession, but nevertheless she does this work when she can.

Anyway, as I said my ex is a high earner and my daughter comes home in term time and the next one is off in september and will do the same. With no CM, tax credits or child benefit it looks like we will all be eating pasta!

Ex did offer to help the children, but renade on that now. So oldest taking him to court, but next child doesn't want to do the same.

Its up to them at the end of the day. I sell my belongings on ebay and make do on the benefits I receive and the CM I get at the moment. Things are tough, but hopefully I will get a job soon.

Gravy train!!!
That's why I never bother encouraging my kids to do their homework at £27k each for a 3 year course I'm hoping they turn out to be right thickos.
What happens to all the benefits you women recieve on top of the child maintenance tax fee hand out.Second partners income and the free house???
You really all milk it dry to the very last drop.

no second partner, no free house, job seekers only
