It could work both ways. This is a lose lose situation. The LG is clearly on my STBXW's side. Not sure how that happened in spite of everything I wrote.

The judge is clearly a mommy judge. We are/were close to settlement. He may/could see me as the sandbagger and come down hard on me. Remember...I am at disadvantage here...I am a physician. Stereotypes abound.

If I sign right now, I have to pay CS while my STBXW lives in the house and I pay all the bills until the house sells. That could be months (years?). By signing in my current state, I will commit myself to be a deadbeat dad, meaning, there is no way that I can pay the mortgage, run my business and pay her CS while we both live under the same roof.

It's a quagmire. Although I may come off here as being 'good', and STBXW as 'evil', the court system doesn't live in my house. Men are bad. They fight for CS to avoid paying it. They don't care if they see the kids. Many abandon their W's, etc. Add on being an MD...well, you can figure out how they probably have stereotyped me. We have been fighting this from the get go.
