Sons Ex Partner Playing Up Again
18 Answers
The strained history,( many years now )between my son and his ex partner( not married) Has blown up again. She lives in Scotland with our grandsons. He’s living back with us in S Wales. He’s working but with his outgoings doesn’t have much left after paying all his bills. Virtually nil in fact.She expects him to travel up regular to see the boys. Latest thing she came up with is travel up for every?? weekend. Apart from the 12 hr round trip, he can’t afford the petrol. They’ve had a heated argument about it. She throws up things like “you can go out on a Friday to meet workmates” but you can’t come up to Scotland. She can’t get it into her head he can’t afford it. Now she’s said if your not coming up NO one is. Meaning myself and the wife. He had planned to go up to see the boys for Christmas. Us after Christmas.
We have come to the conclusion many months ago she only wants money. As much as she can get. He pays maintenance and her Sky and broadband. She rarely phones us. But if she does it’s to complain about money. My son has txt if he can go up for Christmas but she hasn’t replied.

She’s always lived in Scotland Barry. My son lived with her working away most of the week, back at weekends But nearer than now. The relationship was always strained. It was never going to work out. If he was late arriving back on the Friday it was an interrogation. “Where have you been” it only takes x amount of hrs to drive back etc. There was slow traffic/accident. “How long were you stuck in traffic” 1/2 hr. “But you’ve been an hour longer” This was only one example. In the end he’d had enough
Thanks for all your replies. We, myself and the wife have in the past, looked into going to court to gain a certain amount of contact with the grandsons. Being that they live in Scotland, we would have to employ 2 solicitors, 1 in Wales 1 in Scotland.
Our fear is she brainwashes the boys. We can imagine her saying. Nanny and grandad are not coming for Christmas so there will be no presents off them. She’s that type of person.

I agree with murraymints
He should stop the Sky and pay bit a penny more than the CSA would stipulate
His ex may get arsey initially but he can then say that with the money he would be saving by not subsidising her he can now spend on seeing the children
That may make her re-evaluate how she treats him
A solicitors letter outlining that proposal might point her in the right direction too
Best of luck with it all
Wishing you a decent outcome
