My partner’s ex wife is currently paying to his ex- wife spousal support for now 1 year, based on an interim order. She didn’t file for support until 10 months after she left the marital home and likely did so out of spite (she wasn’t fond of our relationship which began after she left him). She left the martial home 2 years ago in June to live with her current partner (whom she had an affair with, which apparently is irrelevant in all this). He was only married to her for 6 years, common-law for 1 year (so total 7 years together). His income now is higher than it was during the marriage and she is definitely trying to capitalize on that and has said she doesn’t want his money going to me. My partner and I have a child together.
Question is: does the fact that she has repartnered and lives with this partner for now 2 years at all relevant in this – i.e. in determining continued eligibility, length and amount of a final order? And how much weight on the length and amount of a final order will the fact that he has now obligations to a second family?
