Thanks Trent. I will get a lawyer, but how do I tell her I am doing this now? She also suggest keeping our accounts together until after we sell the house. I earn almost 3 times what she does and for her to pay half the mortgage will put a huge strain on her finances. It will pretty much take up about 60% of her wage. If I do seperate them, I don't know how much I should give her to assist in raising our son. If at all any, as I will take care of school fees and clothes (which I will buy)
