Hi all,
Does anyone out there have any real experience on financial settlement through court regarding spousal maintenance and child support?
I am about to embark on this court process and really have no idea what to expect. I have done everything I can for a long long time to settle out of court, but my ex just won't accept anything. Court is now the only option. She won't attend mediation or settle on anything.
We have one dd who is 6 and we were married less than 4 years. Together for around around 7.
She lives in the house we shared with dd and I have dd approx 70-80 days a year. I already pay more child support than I am obliged too and the same again on top of that to her. She chooses not to work accept a few bits and pieces and the usual benefits.
I earn a good salary but am by no means rich (about £45k net a year). Does anyone know what I can expect with spousal maintenance? I am more than happy to pay my way, but I feel at the moment I am actually being over generous. I also have my own family now as well with dsd and dss to support.
Any real experiences please, getting desperate for help now? I have no idea what to expect.
Thanks
