[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I have been married for 4 years. Our marriage is miserable and circling the drain. Divorce is a matter of when. I want to divorce soon because he is the kind of greedy idiot who will seek alimony because I outearn him by about $200k, even though he makes well into the six figures. I’ve been told that the shorter our marriage is, the more likely alimony will be lower or denied. But we have 2 small children who neither of us wants to uproot.

I am thinking of approaching him with a request for divorce so I am no longer legally responsible for him. But we can continue raising our kids under the same roof to avoid shuttling them between two households. I think he would go for this. Has anyone ever seen this kind of arrangement work? I couldn’t care less if he starts dating again.[/quote]

Who does drop off and pick ups?  Do either of you travel?  Who is the default parent?  Who stays home when the children are sick?  If you take turns, who it the one who does it the first day? What are your work hours (including commute)?  What are your spouses? Have either of you had to pull off the accelerator on your careers since the children were born? How are household chores divided?

Some of these answers may impact alimony. [/quote]
