He won’t see them homeless, but she’s definitely got to move. Probably to a two bed place, and she will scream child abuse if Ioan makes the girls share a bedroom.
Alice will spunk her way through any cash stash in a few years. She blew 100k tax free in about 6 months. Even if BH was a pathetic attempt to run up her living costs, any new home will have to be in a middle class neighbourhood. It looks like Ella at least will end up living with her. She will be loving bombing Ella like there is no tomorrow right now. But in a few years time when the money is running out and the child support if about to end, Alice will turn on her. Because when Alice’s life turns to a
tit show she needs someone to blame.
What they do about Elsie is really the main question. It will be one of a bad set of choices for all concerned.
Ella is 14 and will be 15 soon, I don’t see how they can disregard her wants in any constructive way. By they I include Ioan as well as the GAL, evaluator and judge.
As much as Ioan won’t want to see the children homeless. He doesn’t have the resources to save Alice from herself. At least not as things stand.
