Kiro, it makes perfect sense to do it sooner since you earn more. You didn't want this so you don't need to do your wife any favors financially. You won't leave her on the street but financially you need to do what's in your best interest and your kids' interest as well. I guess that's why divorce needs to be approached with a business mind and without emotions. Yes there can always be a reconciliation after divorce or right before the divorce papers are about to be signed. My own husband was talking about getting re-married in a few years. Apparently it does happen. And even if reconciliation happens before divorce it's true, it's equal to a new marriage. As I wrote on my thread all the old hopes and dreams are gone so any reconciliation will be something totally new.
