25,
I am in RI. My L is charging me such a low price b/c I work with his wife...He has already promised me that no matter what happens he will not charge me any more. L is very fair and has a very good reputation. His focus is on children and keeping them stable and with the same lifestyle they are used too.
He is not a "lets screw him" type...fine by me...I am not a conflict girl myself.

I think you may have misunderstood my sitch...I am not a stay at home mom...LUCKILY I am a teacher so I have a good job with a fairly good salary. I have my pension and some retirement savings for the future...Thank god for this!!

My problem is I don't have my own $$ right now...H is not giving me much to pay the bills with so any savings I may have been able to put away is being used to pay bills.

My L also said when it came to child support we would fight for earning potential...L is currently working on getting employment records. H did make 6 figures the past 3 years in a row...now claims I make more than he does...he is also "hiding" other income...he is a referee in the fall for football...did not list this on his D paperwork...H also did not list his 401K but my L said not listing it is no big deal...everything can be found and brought to court...

Thank you for all your kind words...It is good to know I will not be on the streets!

UN,
Thank you for your words...I am not sure if I am handling myself too well...I am worried about H and all his weird actions but their is nothing I can do I just have to keep remembering that. I am being cordial...matter of fact with him...I really can't be nice...he is hurting his children, in turn that hurts me!
