[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t see how you can avoid paying spousal support. You shouldn’t have waited 10 years because now the spousal support decision is up to the court forever - he can keep requesting to extend it (not sure if they will).

One of the greatest regrets of my life is not filing for divorce in 2012 when I was laid off and he was out of control.  :(

It doesn't look like spousal support is something I'd get out of, according to most of you, I guess.  Is it likely that I could keep the house?  Both the house and the loan is in both of our names. (Initially the mortgage was just in my name, as it was my credit and income/job that allowed us to get it; when we refinanced, though, I put both of us on the mortgage).

I absolutely dread turning my son's life upside down. It breaks my heart.  Of course he knows things aren't great, but he doesn't want us to divorce (I've never mentioned it, but he's 10 so he can put two and two together).  I don't want him to hate me for being responsible for upending everything.  That's another reason why I've waited this long.  I just wanted to wait until my son wasn't at a tender age and could emotionally/mentally deal with it a bit better.  I was aiming for when he entered high school, but I can't live like this for 5+ more years.[/quote]
