My stbxsil earns around £130000 plus shares pa. He is now refusing to pay either mortgage or maintenance for his 4yr old son. Decree nisi granted. My daughter does not work. If she goes to court does he have to pay what they say? How long will the court take to decide? Is he in contempt of court if not? Can you believe a city "gent" would behave this way. I don't know how they are to eat as we are on State Pension so cannot afford to keep them both.
