Based on 2009 W2 incomes, the proportion is 83/17 with her working part-time. In court, I am going to conted that it should be based on her working full-time, which she is capable of and says she will do in time, but nobody knows what that time is except her. If we assume she is working full-time it is 71/29.
I was asking her to make a proposal because I was hoping she would give me a better split than 83/17.
I talked to our atty at the office about this and he said that she is entitled to the same spending money that I am.
She said last night that it is all OUR money and that I am discounting what she has done for the last 20 years.
I can propose 83/17 and still probably be better off than I am now, but I still have to find some way to get it from her.
I guess that I just don't pay the bills for things I don't care about if it comes down to it.
