My original plan was for a clean break. Unfortunately, it seems the judge saw differently and has insisted on token maintenance to be paid to the Ex. This is about £1 a year.
The catch is that it gives her leave to re-negotiate at a later date (up until First-born is 18 or she re-marries.) I'm already paying a hefty whack towards the upkeep of First-born. The re-negotiation is on top.
So I'll be leaving wedding magazines about the house on my visits: "You'd look lovely (if a little hypocritical) in white. No, really you would"
Just one more reason to give The Uncle a call, eh?
