Well, the proposal showed up today.

She wants physical custody, which in Illinois means I'd owe her $957 every two weeks (28 percent of my net income).

She wants to TAKE TIME away now that I have. Right now I have them every Wednesday night and then every other weekend. And I keep them Friday, Saturday and Sunday night.

She wants me to return them at 6 p.m. on Sundays.

Also, I see them off the bus every day after school and stay with them for an hour. She told her L that I consider this an inconvenience, therefore she'd see them off the bus Mondays and Thursdays.

I, of course, never said that. I love that hour every day. I live for it.

I would be responsible for half daycare expenses. I would not have to chip in on insurance premiums (one caveat for me).

Here's a good one. Her L valued my car at $13,000 and I owe $9,000 so since her car is paid off and worth $4,000, that's a wash.

Hardly, mine is a 20007 Dodge Caliber and it's worth $6,000. I have a $226 monthly car payment and she has $0.

On the retirement side, he did not include her pension, which is about $25,000 and can be split up through a QDRO.

Ah, the kicker. She would agree that I have no financial responsibilities towards the house as long as I took on the responsibility of paying for the $16,000 credit card debt that she ran up inside of three years.

Whooooooooooo. Deep breath.

I'm trying to get in to see my attorney ASAP.

I know you aren't supposed to put specifics out there, but my paycheck is $1,400 every two weeks because I have money taken out for my car payment and a 401(k) loan I took out to pay off marital debt. That check will go down to about $1,340 because I'd be responsible for my own insurance. I'm on hers.

After handing over $485 for child care and $75 in daycare, I'd have $770 left. Her paycheck is $1,500. She'd have $2,070.

Wow. This is playing for keeps.
