We'll have joint legal and physical custody of the minor kids. It's been that way since she left our home back in February. It's been 50-50 with the kids. They spend 7 nights with me and 7 nights with her out of every 14 nights (not consecutively). Don't really understand why there would be child support as she has a good job and makes good money. She hasn't needed a dime since she left...said she wanted to do it by herself. I tried to help her financially early on. She refused it. I do make more money than her (about 20 grand a year more). They go on Florida vacations and oceanic cruises...OK with me, but she doesn't need money from me for child support. There is no issue of distrust with my lawyer.
It's gonna crush me financially. I'll survive, but my lifestyle will change drastically in a negative way. She'll have lots of money and her lifestyle will change drastically too...in a positive way.
Can't really imagine that she'll have a problem with her choices or the damage they've done, much less second thoughts and/or self doubts. I 'shouldn't' have them anymore at that point. I've chronicled my journey here on this board, and I know that I've done everything in my power to prevent this from happening (since she left). I did everything that I possible could.
