    hi
    my partner and i together 6 years and have a two year old, his son and my daughter live with us also. we bought our house together and have no mortgage. he is now in middle of a divorce, he got judicial sep 12 years ago and had to pay wife lump sum for her share in the family home which was signed over to him.he got custody of his 8 year son and had to pay mortgage and childcare while his wife walked away, she is an alcoholic and i have looked after her son for the last 5 years. she never went to communion, confirmation contributed nothin but misery and doesnt speak to her son. she received 30,0000 from sale of her mothers house but my partner never looked for any money. now however he is unemployed and his wife is looking for maintenance from him, a lump sum and a policy to be taken out for her. she has worked all her life despite her drinking problem. surely to god he has done his fair share does responsibility have to fall on his shoulders?

    i really dont think there is anything more he is required to do, especally considering they have been apart for so long and the child is living with him. BUT im no expert, so i think it would be a good idea for him to go to a solicitor and clarify his position in regards to maintenance, or you may want to ring citizens information, the no. is 1890 777 121 and theyre open 9am-9pm, they should be able help you more or at least point u in the right direction. also this link mite help u in the interim;
