Some may know my story but I’m wrapping up a divorce to my cheating husband of 13 years. I’m from the states and all I know if divorce is that usually child support comes directly from people’s paycheck. Doesn’t seem to work like that here…it’s been decided that I will get full custody of the kids and child support. I’ve also asked to split all major expenses like school fees and what not. I *think* he will honor this and not cheat us because his parents are really shamed that he is acting like this, especially as an only child. (Their words, not mine.) But then again, who knows what he will really be like once everything is signed, sealed and processed. But I have heard from other friends that there is no enforcement of child support here. I don’t think he will try to skip out on paying since he is very concerned with me reporting anything to his job. (They would likely fire him if they knew he had been sleeping with another married subordinate.)
My questions are:
1. Is there anything else I should consider for my kids or ask my lawyer about?
2. Is there anything that can be done or requested ahead of time, if he doesn’t pay?
(For example, charging fees or something?)
**Oh and for those who are curious, I did sue the mistress and got a payout. Not huge, but enough to cover my legal fees and also give me a little extra. I have an inkling that he paid it for her cause he either still wants to keep her around or is worried that she will get him fired, but either way, it doesn’t matter cause I got my money back for the lawyer.
