Need some advice still. I think I know the answer but would appreciate some feedback and thoughts.

Going through mediation and finalizing maintenance for the W. I would like to push back to protect myself financially in the future but obviously would like to keep the road paved back. She is getting a very fair deal and could live comfortably without getting a job ... but that is with 100% child support and maintenance inc. We will be sharing custody 50%.

This is a dance that is delicate but I struggle with earning respect by not completely giving in on this.
