Actually, I believe that she doesn't know what her L was going to suggest at the temporary hearing. She is leaving it all up to her lawyer. I know they did originally talk about her getting $2k per month in child support if she got primary placement of the kids, but that isn't going to happen.
If this works the way I hope it will, she will get less than $1k per month child support and some maintenance/alimony, but my L hasn't given me an estimate on that yet.
I don't think my W has a clue as to what she is going to get or how she is going to live on it yet. I don't think she has planned that far ahead, just taking it as it comes. She is too busy acting like an unruly teenager with no worries and not a 44 yr old woman with a family. She has relied on me to earn whatever she wanted to spend for a lot of years. She if focking clueless about what it really takes to earn enough to live on, or at least live well on.
I really wish we would have had that court date. Would have cleared a lot of things up. She is in for a rude awakening at some point.
Have a call in to my mortgage broker about getting an appraisal and refi or home equity line set-up. It will all depend on the value of the house. If I sell I stand to lose a lot. If there is too much equity, I won't be able to afford to buy her out.
This just sucks, like IDU's situation, but I am pushing ahead. I am no longer afraid! I am strong!!!!
Thanks to all of you for helping to build my confidence. I wouln't be at this point today without all of your great advice.
I have an appointment with my IC tomorrow, but I don't even feel like I need it really.
