So do we, but I doubt she realized the attys would eat up as much of our savings as they have. It's really been ridiculous. They seem over paid by about 10x, but this is the path W put us on, and I had no choice. It would obviously have not been my pick. She was scared I would screw her in the D (as I look back I see most of her decisions were fear-based, not love-based), so after $40K, we end up spliting everything down the middle, except now she refuses to help with the kids last two years of private school. She thinks my parents will just hand over $40K to cover it. My mom is really not in favor of covering the shortfall my W has caused, and really won't consider paying stuff that W is responsible for. So I'm not sure how this will work out. If I want them to stay in the school, it looks like I'll need to figure out how to fund it on my own. I've paid for everything up until now, but I had substantial reserves and didn't need to fund a new house. So it will be a mess for a couple of years. Welcome to divorce.
