He is not talking about anything financial right now because he is out of work. One of the first things he is doing when he arrives in Europe is attending a job interview. He has stated from the start that he will provide full financial support once he is earning.
For reasons I cannot go into here, we are no longer registered here as separated, therefore I cannot enforce anything through the Child Support Agency.
So I am going to take his word for it. My father has also had a 'talk' with him. He is very clear that money is not going to be an issue.
As for our assets, the only thing we really have left (since we have lost $20,000 since the separation because of a big mortgage and no money coming in) is our apartment. The law here says I will bet 65-70% of that. I asked him to give me and his baby 100% so we wouldn't be forced to sell up because the repayments are pretty big. He declined (he was the one that paid for most of it).
This week tenants are moving in, and I have moved permenantly into my parents house.
