Now dont get my wrong, I have no problems with the child support, the partial custody,Property divide, and even trying to help get her on her feet. Everyone around me says she should not get a cent of maintanance as she will be walking away with a nice chunk of change as it is. But to me, the day I stand in front of my lord and he asks why did you turn this woman out with nothing.. Well thats just me, it would have made me feel better that I was helping.
Your wife is leaving you, don't enable it. The real question to ask yourself is- am I taking a stand the right way to save my marriage and family?
Hire a L to handle the legal side. Then defer all questions to them.
The legal issues help bust the "fog" on what life will be like when divorced. Let your wife confront the brutal reality now all while you leave a clear path back home.
Sounds like you handled a tough conversation well. When in doubt of what to say be still or say "I'm thinking."
