My W has just presented me with a bill for the month which consists of clothing, shoes, school dinners for the children. Also, the months food shopping for my W and the children.

My question is should I pay all this or should it be split 50/50?
I do not currently pay child maintenance so I am not sure what I should pay.

Up to this point I have always paid all the bills, mortgage, rates etc, and know I am out of work I am getting my W to pay half of the mortgage and rates.

What should I do?
