CH - I am not sure what the child support laws are in your state but they usually are based on some formula. You may want to visit with an attny to get a better sense of what the guidelines are. I personally would not agree to anything with out an attny giving you some guidance on the matter.

I agree with C-bart. You need to protect yourself but do it in a way with class and dignity. In terms of her budget...she asked for this so I think she need to modify her standard of living. Just my two cents.

RE; the anger - you need to figure out a way to deal with it. Just make sure you do not hurl it back at her. There will be a time where she will need to reflect on her role in this - that time not determined by you or I but it is in His time. As for you, your time is now. A time for you to grow, trust and change. Change is often difficult to face in such trying times but if you allow it, ackowledge it, feel it you will become all that you want to be.

I'm praying for you dude. Keep your focus on YOUR goals. Keep your focus ilon your kids. Remember - this IS YOUR LIFE.
