Good to hear that the agony of the divorce process is over for you and that you are okay with the amount you received.
I think you are right on thinking welll on the time that you were able to spend with the kids by being able to stay at home (on his dime). Those moments are worth more than anything and i wish that i was able to spend more time with the kids like that. I did the same with my W when our kids were first born. I am happy that i was able to handle the bills for that time the W was able to take off (only a year for the 4 y/o and a few months for the 2 y/o) because i think the kids (her kids as well) really benefited from that. Not sure she is as grateful for the time she was able to spend because of our M, but maybe someday she will be.

I couldn't agree more. I am going through some changes as well that its becoming clearer that i should embrace them more fully.
