When my ex wife stabbed me and the police reluctantly attended to take a statement at St Thomas' Hospital because their A&E have a policy of calling the police to all stabbings, I was told then and there that there would be no prosecution or even a follow up interview with her. I was made to feel that I was wasting police time and sternly lectured about not antagonising her in future

F hell. It's worth becoming gay if these craziness is out there.Absolutely this. We're going back 17 years now and, even then, DV perpetrated by women against men just wasn't in the Met Police play-book. Slashing motorbike tyres, pouring paint over cars, attacks in public in front of multiple witnesses and, ultimately, having to get a cab to A&E to have Sebatier's finest removed from my shoulder was met with a wall of "la-la-la, we can't hear you"
When my ex first rang the police to attend our house, simply because I would not do what she wanted, she said before their arrival that she was going to get some guys to sort me out. Once they arrived and talked to her in the kitchen they called me in, she claimed I was threatening her etc and she wanted me out, which was rubbish as the kids were home and in earshot, even they said daddy was not shouting, it was mummy, so I told the police what she had said, about having me beaten up, she turned to them and said yes she said it, and she will do it, they did not even write it down! reverse that situation and I would have been straight in the back of the van and arrested.
I was asked to leave anyway or be arrested for breach of the peace, they however said I could return the next day and if she rang them again, it was her turn to leave.
True to their word, she did it and they turfed her out on the Sat morning. She never came back the next day so I looked after the girls all weekend. Monday afternoon I was presented with the ex parte non mol and occupation order at the house, she and her solicitor had it all pre planned ready and hit the court first thing Mon morning.
Now we are not talking some crazy druggy ex con here, she was the deputy head of a large high school, never in a million years could I or any of our friends and family have predicted that when the mental kicked in that it would go so far. That was 2013, she has not changed one iota since, in the last of our court appearances in 2017 the child psychologist appointed by the court stated that the ex was fueled by rancour and resentment, last Wed at the concert I could still see it quite clearly in her eyes.

Does appear that way - I must be in a tiny minority - I was with my wife for 22 years, married for just shy of 16 years and never experienced any of that. Now in another relationship and again, not had an sign of ‘the mental’ whatsoever. king psychos. [goes off to count blessings]

You go bankrupt. Child maintenance will be rewarded based on earnings potential (not an actual job you have and are paid for).
So that’s the end of your legal financial responsibility?My own father didn’t provide much - if any support - but I recognise looking back that he was really just trying to keep his head above he water and also move on with his own life and I don’t begrudge him that in the slightest. It certainly doesn’t taint my relationship with him.
When it comes to my own children I’ll pay what I feel is reasonable to support them and if the ex disagrees and puts the weight of the legal system against me resulting in punitive confiscation of my income then I’d sure as hell refuse to comply.
