I got this scenario where my exwife asks for $20k (not real figure) for maintenance for two kids. This was discussed during our divorce, so means it was before i got any court orders to pay maintenance for the kids. $20k was too much for me so instead i told her $10k (not real figure) was all i could fork out every month.
There were arguments as she doesn't agree to my amount but i just payed $10k anyways for every month till we were officially divorced. In the end of the month after divorce, suddenly she texted me saying don't forget that i have to pay her alimony on top of maintenance for children which is $15k in total (not real figure). To me, it sounds like she finally acknowledges that i can only pay $10k for the kids and no longer pester me for the initial $20k. Next year my eldest child will be enrolling into P1 so my exwife told me she wants to increase the maintenance to $11k for next year, which i said that shouldn't be much of a problem.
However, now i have received a letter from Family Justice Courts about maintenance for the kids. I was informed that my exwife has made a complaint that i had either not been paying maintenance or i was giving unreasonable maintenance. My question is, if she complains that the maintenance was unreasonable, why acknowledge my $10k and still tell me next year up $1k? If i were to present this arguement during mediation, what would the outcomes most like be?
