Alice needs to pull her finger out of her arse and go get a job. She can't expect to keep milking off the ex forever, and what she's expecting financially is not realistic. Loan is an arsehole, and is more than likely hiding cash and assets, but you can't blame him given how much Alice has milked since they separated, trashed his name endlessly and used the kids as a weapon. The woman is barking and needs help. They both need to move on. The kids can live in a smaller house, it's not going to ruin their lives.
