Thanks DQ.

I have had discussions with a L and know that really my W doesn't have a choice regarding the child support, she will have to pay based on the state guidelines. There are three separate calculations based on what type of custody arrangement we agree on: Sole, Split, or Shared. We most likely will go with Shared Custody but I will still have the girls the majority of the time.

Sorry to hear about your cousin's limbo status. It really is a difficult stage in all of this. Heading for divorce is painful but it's pain that you get through and then start rebuilding. Limbo is just a daily hell with no clear path. I wish her the best.

By the way - did you get married?
