Thanks everyone for the replies. I wasn't asking for legal advice in terms of whether I should continue to funnel money to WW. It was more of a question on is it going to help or hurt me in terms of working towards a R in the M? I already asked my attorney and confirmed I am under no legal obligation to give her a dime until one of us files for D and a support order is issued. At this point, it doesn't matter since we had a big fight on the phone about money yesterday and I told her I was done. Yes, she's totally pissed off. And I know she was calling around looking for attorneys today. I'm meeting my own again tomorrow to fill him in and discuss strategy. I don't want things to get dirty but I do feel I need to place my own welfare and that of my children ahead of making WW happy right now.

The sad thing is that WW only works 20 hours/week and if she would simply get a full time job, even at min wage, she wouldn't have any trouble paying her own bills. She simply doesn't want to work full time. And somehow feels she is entitled to support from me, in spite of bare min time spent with the kids over past few months. And she doesn't want to ask the boyfriend for money either. Seems to me he should be the one helping her out. You can imagine how thrilled I was to hear that he just went out and financed a brand new motorcycle. So obviously things are not that bad for him.

I'll post again tomorrow after getting input from my attorney. For now main goal is protect my finances. I'm hoping that WW settles down once she realizes she has a hard battle on her hands and becomes more open to reason. I really don't see her and the biker guy lasting more than a few months but no idea what she would do after it falls apart. I know she was counting on me as Plan B up until very recently. She even asked at one point if it would be OK if she moved back home if they ever broke up. Early on, when I was still in my own fog, I foolishly agreed, but I think she's clear now that is not an option. She has never expressed true remorse about what she did and continues to do.
