14 year marriage
I pay $2500 for 5 years
Also pay child support

I did most of the parenting and worked my ass off after he abruptly quit his well-paying job and then pursued various “startups” that all failed over 7 years. None were viable, but he would get irate if I ever suggested returning to the corporate world. He also continued to spend as if he still had his job and his alcoholism became worse. At the time we separated, he had very little income, but during the course of our divorce proceedings got a decent job. It pissed him off that I made 3X more than he did. I probably could have gone to court and hired experts to prove he was willfully under employed, but I just agreed to pay in the interests of having a lower conflict divorce. It pisses me off every month to write that check, but I am so much happier without his alcoholic, narcissistic shadow hanging over me![/quote]You pay child support? So, he got custody of the kids? I feelike there is a lot missing in this story. [/quote]
