[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. He says he is giving me three years to maximize my earning potential, and we should divorce then. He is being understanding and supportive.

I am totally on the fence about divorcing. On one hand he is getting on my nerves. On the other hand I believe that parenting an elementary-school child is a family project and should not be left to me alone, also to cope with earnings losses due to unequal child care responsibilities. He absolutely cannot be counted on to care for the kid, as he does not plan to change his work schedule of 5 a.m. to 7 p.m.

We plan to move to an expensive state, and I could definitely not pay mortgage payments for a decent home even with a take-home pay of $12k.[/quote]

I think you need a divorce now. I have a similar story—he made me wait to divorce to improve his situation. Start separation now. Take the bar after divorce. I make less than you. You will live. My ex makes double. I would have gotten alimony if I did not wait. [/quote]
