we could have literally no financial worries, she wants out.
This is the crazy part. My X and I most likely would be retired now. I was to the point where I was going to focus on managing the money that we paid to the lawyers.

Time with the kids is more important than the money (IMHO). If I was in your shoes, I would negotiate more time with the kids and she can have a "better" slice of the child support. THIS WILL GO AGAINST EVERYTHING the system is setup for. People will think you are crazy, but time with the kids is priceless...(The next 7 years will fly by)....you can always make more money. Make sure you review the clauses about any significant change in either of your incomes.
