It is frustrating though, my ex and her new partner run a very successful business. One drives a 10 reg BMW X5 and the other has some 07 BMW convertible.
1 "child" left home, 2 moved to London to live with me and the other remaining "child" is working.
Yet when the topic of maintenance ever came up in the past they were so proud that they only earnt 5k (read whatever is the tax and ni efficient minimum) per year each, could barely pay the interest payments on the loan for the BMW X5 on that.
Some people really have no idea of parental responsibility, both emotional and fiscal.
Now that the kids are older, I have really given up even thinking about it, avoid communicating unless I absolutely need to, and then only regarding the childrens welfare (2 minors). No maintenance goes one way or the other any more. Just hope 1 day they may have be a pang of conscience, but I know it won't happen.
