p.s. I just read some of the other responses. I disagree with basically what is hush money or money to grease the wheels of divorce.

You gave her money because of your feelings for her and because you felt guilty, like the kids would suffer if you didn't pony up the money. GD, I understand that, I've done that stuff myself, but once you start trying to get cooperation from your wife by providing money, it doesn't stop. Have you told her that you won't be providing the $700 anymore, much less c.s. on top of that?
