Ex-partner has sent invoice for diy

Sounds like he's using it as a way to try and get you to stop ignoring him (the ego can be a funny thing). I'd ignore it.

I'd agree that this sounds like a controlling/contact-prolonging gesture more than any real "invoice" - esp if you/he have nothing to demonstrate any kind of prior agreement to pay/contract.

If you don't want to ignore him, I'd suggest you tell him again to put-up or shut-up - by providing a breakdown/receipts and and make it clear that this will be the last time you consider the matter - any further communication will be treated as harassment. Keep copies/replies etc.

Its also not unknown for some people to continue to try and leech money from their ex's for considerable periods and you don't want to get sucked into that.

Mind you, if he's a good builder you could post-up his details with a recommendation here. In my part of the world its a near-miracle to get one to move his backside and do some work for just a thousand quid!

I wouldn't do anything that suggests you think you do actually owe him for the work - and this comes close.

Just ignore it....don't acknowledge it in anyway shape or form.
He just sounds like a child having a teddy throwing episode and will hopefully get fed up when he's met with silence .

It's sounds like you are well rid of him.
You shouldn't need to have him pestering you after two years .
If he continues I'd speak to the police about advising him
to leave you alone.

Invoice your ex partner for wasting your time having to read his pointless non enforceable invoice!

Was your partner a controlling person?

No, you make it clear you don't accept anything of the sort and couch it in a "prove it please" manner.

I wouldn't get involved in a dialogue at all.
