Are you in a community property state? If you decide to do this are you going to give her half of your savings? Do you want her to suffer on the street? What is this teaching your daughter?
We are in a community property state. I have NO personal savings. All of my money is tied up in our business, which is a corporation. Technically, I don't think that allows my wife to be able to have any of it. The same goes for our home, it is owned by the business. I DO NOT want to have my wife or my daughter living on the street. However at the same time, I do not want to be supporting my "ex-wife" because she is not able or willing to do so herself. This was HER choice. She should have to live with the consequences. In regards to what it is teaching my daughter, I think it's horrible. I also think teaching my Daughter that you do not work on a marriage, you simply divorce and move on to the next relationship is pretty horrible too.
