Hi. I just found out that my boyfriend is paying (half) of all household costs in addition to the mortagage and support payments.

It is my belief that things like lawn/yard maintenance ought to be paid by her. Similarly things that she decides to do on a whim, like paint the interior of the home to better suit her decor or have a professional put in a garden. I will add that she has no physical barrier to doing these things herself. Furthermore she doesn't contact my boyfriend to discuss these decisions beforehand. She simply presents him with all these bills and he pays half.

Is this normal? This certainly is not how things worked after my divorce. I got a pay out and was left entirely to my own devices.
