The part about your sitch that makes me confused is a judge who would order a temporary support scheme that either (a) you cannot afford or (b) will drive you into bankruptcy. I am curious as to whether your L made this point to the Court.
I understand the law in MA may not be favorable to you, but I find it hard to believe the judge would order you to pay what you cannot afford
I had hoped that would be, and my L did argue that in court, but the kicker is, I have a large outlay in monthly cash going to 'investment' properties with nothing coming back from them.
I have heard, and understand from the L, that in some cases like this, they consider the childs well being more important than any 'investments' and can order you to essentially stop paying on them.
If I do that, I can support the large weekly outlay of cash to STBXW, but the outcome of that is they will go to foreclosure, my credit gets hurt, etc.
Since STBXW name is not on any of that, it's not a big deal to her, that is for sure. However, if there was some income or equity in them, you can be sure she would want her share of it. This is an area I intend to focus a lot of my discussion with L on, and if there is anything at all that I can do to try and protect what I have at least for a short while.

On board the D train now..
