I say get this thing done in the trial next week. I would rather live with a judges decision than surrendering to batchit crazy that refuses to negotiate in a fair manner.
I dont think she should get any alimony if she is making that much. $1200 for one child support seems rather steep for your pay vs her pay. I pay $600 for 2 combined. However, I have 50% custody. I make around 8 times what my XW does. Your wife and your income ratio is not even close to that.
I remember a BROKEN ARROW scene in the movie "We Were Brothers". Even though the sh!t was hitting the fan, we were able to drop some napalm and get out of that battle somewhat in tact. You can do the same and move forward by setting up legal rules of engagement that will make sure you win the war. BTW... I have been to Vietnam and it sure seems like capitalism is winning there.
