[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn't matter if she gets lifetime alimony. Its not going to keep in her in the same house with the same lifestyle AND pay for her kids to go to private school. A court is not going to force OP to pay for private school. OP's wife is better of staying, she knows it and he knows it which is why he holds the cards. [/quote]

Okay so first of all, he does not hold all the cards because he too would be worse off in a divorce.

But more importantly, is this how people really look at all marriages? Sorting out which spouse holds the cards like they're freaking opponents in life? Despite OP's clearly dysfunctional marriage I would hope that he and his wife have at least have some sense of partnership. [/quote]

[b]10 years from now after a divorce he will still be making 500k, no longer have child support, and be finishing up paying for college for his kids. He won’t be supporting his ex-wife and probably will have a new wife. [/b]Meanwhile the sah wife stops getting alimony and child support and her quality of life is nowhere near her previous life. It isn’t fair but that is what my sister’s life has become. She really wishes now she had stayed married and put up with her ex. [/quote]

But if OP divorces, remarries and has more kids with the new wife, it will be waaaaay more expensive and delay retirement more than 3 years.  Not to mention, what if the second wife would like private school for the kids? Can you imagine?[/quote]
