I had a good meeting with my attorney this morning. He was impressed to see that I had all my financials done, child support worksheet done, alimony worksheet done, supporting data in place, so we were able to have a productive meeting.
Property division should go pretty much as I thought.
The support/alimony would kind of look like what I pay for W's car payment plus her CC bill, so it's kind of a wash as far as my monthly cashflow is concerned.
Then there's timing. If I'm going to get a D, somebody needs to file within the next 14 months. After that, I get hurt bad on alimony and property division. But up until 14 months, the longer neither of us files, the better off I am, as W's increased earnings will lower support, increase the assets to be split, and I won't have to pay as much of W's legal bills.
And then he gave me a ball park idea of what it would cost to get the D done. Yeow.
So, now I know all those answers. Seems I have a fair amount of time, if it's left up to me. Now, how to use it most productively for me and the kids.
