[QUOTE="donna723, post: 570959, member: 1883"] Recoveringenabler is right. In most places, there is a formula used to figure the amount of child support paid depending on the incomes of [U]both[/U] parties. So if you are working too, the amount of child support he has to pay will be much less. And if you are working, you may end up getting no spousal support at all. He has had time to think all of this through, figure all the angles, and you haven't. And once the decision to divorce has been made, living in the same house will become very uncomfortable. Sooner or later he will be getting his own place and have all the added expense of two households and you can just bet that his own bills will become a priority and yours will come in second. And where does he get the idea that the children won't be affected? My grandson is only three and he knows that something is very different now, even though he sees his daddy often and they still take him places together all the time. He doesn't understand why daddy has his own house now and doesn't sleep there anymore and he still cries every time he has to say goodbye. At his age he doesn't understand divorce but he does know that things with his parents have changed drastically and not for the better. [/QUOTE]
