FLEXIBLE spening? HA! does she have the kids? If so i would suggest that you look into the state she lives in and what childsupport guidelines are for that. Then look at expenses..(this is literally what I did when H left)...you know REAL BILLS ie. Utilites, water, house payment - joint debt payments, mine included a few hospital bills etc. ADD those up THEN ADD what the child support is...see where the middle ground can be for you.. WITH ME I added teh bills/plus the child support to come up with what we had.. it was substantial and he signed and payed until JUNE... BUT I DID NOT have alot of extra..and I had to start working fulltime....
DO NOT LET HER RUN YOU LIKE THAT... I am sorry and others may think that I am out of line..she wanted out ..you dont have to pay for her to play. THERE IS A HUGE difference between being supportive and supporting your fmaily and paying for her new life.....
