Joseph I don't have specific advice for you on finances but a planner or lawyer might.
Yes Texas is community property but child support isn't community property based, as you know.
Um, as for the "NG - Nice Guy" concern, have you read that book? (The title is misleading & the term "nice guy" can be a misnomer). I'm confused by your use of it when it comes to the finances and wanting to rescue her.
That's ^^sort of not it.
So, of the things your w felt were missing in the m and with which you agree - how's that going?
And are you GAL? The more you do that, and the less you obsess about her, the more detached and less likely to engage in the whole "teach her a lesson" deal.
Something my DB coach said long ago that resonated to me,
was that "it's not the spouse's job to teach their h/w lessons, or to 'show them consequences of their choices. Life does that."
One of the reasons this^^ helped me, was for me to let go of what I "should" be doing.
A lot of that "Should be doing SOMETHING" in me was me trying to control the outcome
and just not do my best, then letting go of the results.
If you truly do become the best version of yourself, the best Joseph9 you can become
then you can turn the marriage over to God & hold your head high.
