I am still contemplating separating or finances. The only reason I haven't yet it because she doesn't make much money and cant pay all of her bills and her share of the shared bills. Would it be reasonable to split or finances and give her a certain amount of money to supplement her income? This supplement money would act as child support. But since we are still in the same house I don't think I should have to give her anything for child support.
I think the fair thing to do is have her pay her half of the mortgage and her half of the kids school (the kids are in an expensive private school). However she cant afford to do this.
Does anyone have any experience with in home separation and splitting finances?
This all sounds arbitrary. I think it's wise to at least contact a lawyer, give him some income numbers and see what the actual payments would be. For example, childcare costs vary based on the difference of your income. And there may be spousal support. Id find out now, so you have the knowledge.
