L suggested requesting spousal maint due to the great disparities in our incomes. I am in re-building phase of my career after losing business (part of what lead to M problems). L suggested re-habilitative maint, which would make it temp while I re-built career/business. L did advise, however, since we are also filing plea for reconcilliation, the Spousal Maint req may anger her enough to impede an possible R process. L did say that it is easier to take Maint request out after filing than it is to try and add it later.
Fighting the soft side that wants R and the hard side that needs to stand firm and protect myself and the kids.
