Welbeck when I went through the maintenance/ solicitor route a few years ago they told me he was very evasive in deed sneaking around and dashing from his front door to his car with a hood up to evade a letter being served on him in person. He also rang up various agencies trying to camouflage his accent on the phone to them. You are correct it is a lot of angst. I am doing good most of the time but every now and then I have a blip, usually someone mentioning him to me and relaying some news about his latest antics. Close friends know not to do it but it is other people who aren’t close to me such as casual acquaintances and don’t know who do it unwittingly.

Thank you welbeck. I just cottoned on to what MN means! Mumsnet (I am not as dim as I am coming across here promise!

well i guess you know all about trying to pursue him via a solicitor/ through the courts for maintenance.
but in reality unfortunately it can be almost impossible to get money from a deadbeat dad.
so perhaps it's better to avoid all the angst.
have you tried MN for advice on this ?

Thanks. I am British. We have children who he does not see or support. His income doesn’t go through tax system (he evaded tax) which is very frustrating for me. I really have no knowledge of companies.

are you not from the uk, yet you say your ex wanted to get british citizenship from marrying you.
i only ask because a private limited company is a concept familiar to most british people, i would have thought.
many small businesses have this type of ownership, along with sole traders and partnerships.
it is a non-natural person in legal terms, so that the ownership of a business is a separate entity to the individuals running that business.
although liability may be imputed to the commanding mind, according to legislation and the circumstances, usually in criminal matters.
i have not explained it well, sorry.
as to what advantage he hopes gain, who knows, could be lots of things, mostly financial.
but really i think it is not good for you to be investigating your ex's current life like this.
you still sound enmeshed, to be so interested.
it is not healthy. move on. ignore. live your own life.
all the best.
