[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here
I don't think marriage is necessarily over, there is nothing terrible like abuse, etc. I think H just started to think a little too highly of himself and wants to be in control more). Hopefully this will change as I get my work permit and find a job. Therapy is supposed to help, too. I am sure I am enabling it, and I will either change, or just leave.

I hope to share the household, divide finances (only have a shared account for household stuff and rent, etc), and stay civil and courteous for our child. If divorce is in the cards I will have a job and child support- this is already something.

Curious, what is the norm for child support, is it governed by how much the guy makes or is just how much is needed to support the child's basic needs. Will it be more than the 1200 the OP is now getting as allowance?[/quote]

I had a free initial consult with a divorce attorney and in the 50/50 custody event child support will be around $1500. 
I don't think H will have to pay for childcare so I will be worse off (unless I get spousal support AND land a job; spousal support will be in fact bigger than child support but H won't be able to afford it, and it won't get me too far- so I will have to have a job).[/quote]
