This is why you should have a consultation with an attorney. Not to start a divorce, but to find out what the likely financial outcome for you would be IF you were to divorce.
Knowledge is power. You might discover that between child and spousal support you would be ok. Or you might find that you are best off this way for now and start planning how to increase your income in the future.
I've met with 2 attorneys. i have done spreadsheets on all the financials. I am quite confident I will be quite o.k. if we divorce. So, that is not an issue. I think it's more like I don't want to potentially wake up a sleeping dragon. I'm not ready to file for a divorce, I am moving forward with my life, so there is not great reason to change things now. Thanks for stopping by and weighing in on this, though. I value everyone's input.
