Boat I appreciate these questions and to be honest, I don’t fully understand. I met with L and L told me this. And yes W’s basic needs are well cared for loving with her mom. I essentially was providing alimony when I had the larger income as well after W had moved out (I contributed double what W did towards family shared expenses and I had our 2 kids living with me).
Prior to meeting with this L, I understood it as you have expressed it. I think that given my stated priority to keep the house, L might be suggesting this approach. I will keep asking questions.
