Hi...

My boyfriend is currently paying his ex-wife £3000 per month maintenance, but there are now concerns over his job. He has £50k savings which is to help him buy a new house if/when the matrimonial home ever sells, but if he does actually lose his job what would he have to do? She has no job and has elected to not get one..
