I was thinking along the lines of child support. Even if no support is ordered K will still be responsible for xxxx (whatever that may be) in contributions for the children (medical, education, daily expenses, activities, childcare) and it seems his W has always made more money so perhaps their obligations won't be "even" and she will just have to contribute more.

My friend was awarded 2500.00 per month in support from her H very recently in Texas. 2500.00 is the maximum amount awarded by law. He made almost triple what she did however she did leave an equally high paying job to marry him and move to TX. If I understood here that was figured in to her support. She now makes peanuts as a teacher and would have never quit her high paying job to move to Texas "just because". Also (and I think I understood her correctly) teachers do not have state tax taken from their pay but they also do not earn social security which figures into retirement when dividing assets. I *think* that is what I understood her to say but I am not 100% sure.

Either way the issue at hand is all of *this*. At this point a valid Sacrament of Marriage is a non issue. NOT because its not important but I think we all know there are far more pressing issues K needs to address.
