No you’re not obligated at all, even if she went through CM she wouldn’t get anything because he isn’t earning 😅
wtf no 😂 she can’t get anything off you x
Side note: partner has already told her that I have no responsibility for payments to her and kids and it’s not fair to expect that so will not be doing it, but she’s kicking off
That is ridiculous plus if she wants money from you shouldn't she be asking you, not him 😅
Some people are so entitled Jesus Christ 🤦🏼♀️ you’re not legally obliged, she is definitely overstepping
How is she not so humiliated by herself 😂
You’re not expected to pay anything, they’re not your kids. If ex and her were still together they’d be living off her wage!
Legally no there is no responsibility for the SM to provide financially in terms of maintenance Morally in your position when he’s lost his job then no I don’t believe in the SM financially providing If he’d have quit his job because you don’t need his income or to raise kids you had together to save childcare costs then I think morally then that’s a different stance from me x
Absolutely not! BM tried this with me when my partner lost his job
🤣🤣BM tried this with me as well. These women don’t think. From all points of view it’s not your responsibility at all.
I agree you shouldn’t have to pay her, and assume that as your salary is now the only household income that it will be you who is paying for SD in your own home… and so in my opinion you are doing more than enough. Hopefully though it doesn’t mean SD is then without if for instance BM has suddenly dropped a significant amount of money a month with no pre warning. I think some women have a sense of entitlement and yet they’d never do it if the tables were turned. My husband paid maintenance for five years, and yet now she lives with us we receive nothing! I’d just say no and wouldn’t engage in an argument. X
Absolutely not, that's ridiculous x
That is bonkers to me. The audacity! Absolutely not in my opinion. You don’t have parental responsibility and therefore do not have to provide for a child you did not make. I have paid maintenance for my SK’s during covid as my partner wasn’t working but that was my choice, I wasn’t asked, probably would have said no if I was asked though
You don’t have to pay anything, it’s unfortunate that your husband has lost his job, i’m sure its stressful for you and probably also BM if she relies on the maintenance to help with bills etc. but, you guys could say if struggling you could have stepkids more temporarily to help out? But no 100% it’s so cheeky of her to suggest you pay
In a similar situation, partner quit his job to start his own company so won't ha e income straight away. I am paying it (my partner will pay me back) but it wasn't expected and she has no right to expect that
