Well, came out of mediation feeling OK. Mediator proposed STBX keeps the house and I keep my pension. In addition, I have to pay $3000 per month alimony and child support. I'm OK with that. In addition, STBX has squirreled 112K away. Interesting.
Well, STBX sent an email to me how she can't possibly make it on 104K per year with D18's tuition at 24K, Federal Tax at 28K, Mortgage being 25K, daughter 16's eating disorder treatment at 24K.
Simplsitic math, no? Mortgage interest is all deductible, D16 will not have 24K medical costs forever. D18 might have to be told to come home to a state school in CT (Tough sh*t...welcome to Divorce)and does anyone really PAY 28% tax?
