Ex-wife

[Ageing Grey Mackem]

I sympathise mate. I've never missed a payment to my ex for the two kids, even paying well over the odds for several years which I then realised she was just using to fund her own lifestyle rather than going towards the kids. Now I pay the CSA or equivalent's calculated rate and I still have very little say as to when and where I can see the kids. Roll on two years time when they've both left school age and I can let her fend for herself, the feckless twat. She's not worked beyond two day a week on the tills in Asda for nearly 15 years and has no intention I can see of ever working full time again despite the kids now being 15 and 13 and going to school down the road.

Sorry, rant over.

Although the 500 quid a month thing would have me raging.

Giving a 15/16 year old 120 quid a month..... am I out of touch thinking that's high?

Aye

 

[Aituk7]

I used to do 20-25 hours a week in a call centre at that age, got about a ton a week.

Lad will be sixth form.


At about that age it was probably up there for me tbh.

Same here, went to sixth form all week, 5-8 worked at barclays and saturday 9-3pm

Got about 900 quid a month.

 

[Brian Griffin]

And she has to feed him and put a roof over his head and pay all of his bills?

She could just charge her son instead.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

120 pound a month and he has go pay for his own clothes?

His gear must be shite no offence

A week?

£3.5k a month?

I'd have been dead.

 

[Aituk7]

Aye

So is that a reasonable amount to give a kid these days? f***ing hell. 10 years ago I was 16 and I got a tenner a week

 

[Boz33]

As for the lad, pay for it yourself and make her look the twat she seems

 

[Keawyeds]

The smb cannot really have a proper input on something like this without Pics of the said Ex wife

Promote this man to Striker.

 

[WHD]

I've asked her what happens to the rest of the money I give her every month (£500). She says that's what she's needs to look after him.

Do you have to give her that amount? If not, I would give her the bare minimum and give the kid the rest directly.

 

[Aituk7]

A week?

£3.5k a month?

I'd have been dead.

That's more than I'm on now

I meant a month... even on that a month I was nearly dead. At 16 getting a grand. More money than I usually got in a year!!

Aye but what does 27quid buy now, bearing in mind he's buying his own clothes too...unless he's shopping at primark and other shite a trackie top will knock him back 60 quid or so, same for a pair of trainers etc etc

As for the job, yep nought stopping him earning a little bit more doing a part time job if he can find one

 

[Dodgy]

She could just charge her son instead.

So what's the difference? She'll still need the same for gas, electricity, food, sky etc. I'm assuming he'll also have a phone which will be coming out of the £500 a month.

 

[Reptilia]

Pics?

aye but she should be paying half of that

 

[Ben Gardner]

Got some stories to tell about my ex-wife.

I'm reluctant though, as the OP refuses to post pics of his

 

[Dodgy]

aye but she should be paying half of that

And she probably is.

Works out about a tenner an hour take home.
Decent that, especially for a part time teenager.

It was 9.30 an hour iirc. Best paid call centre in doxford park at the time.

This was outbound sales mind

Ex shouldn't be paying her entire gas bill, her entire electricity bill, entire food bill, entire sky bill, entire phone bill....just the proportion attributed to their son.

£500 is roughly two thirds of what I pay for utilities and shopping for a family of 4 per month.
