[quote=Anonymous]I agree that you should apologize for bringing DC into the financial discussion and simply say, you were very upset at the discussion and did not mean that.  And mean what you say when you apologize.  Not only is it bad for your child (obviously), it makes you look bad, plain and simple.

Remember that most of what happens now can appear as his account in a court document, and anything written can be used as an attachment.  Try and always be the bigger person.  You want to be the one that sounds reasonable and in control of your emotions.  It's hard, but you want to be that person -- only helps you.

As for the support and settlement offer, I agree with the PPs who suggest that you go to another attorney and have the settlement reviewed.  If you have retained your attorney, I would double check that you don't piss him or her off.  Your other option is to meet with your current attorney and use the draft settlement as a starting point and negotiate from there.  It is a negotiated document, so you do not have to just accept what your STBX is offering.

I'm divorced and was working with two kids under 5 at the time.  I did not seek alimony, even though my ex makes much more money than me.  I felt like that would prolong an unhealthy relationship between the two of us.  Screw that!

I have one friend who received alimony for a short period of time while she found a job.  And the job she found did not pay much.  The alimony decreased and then expired.  You can negotiate a better split of the assets and child-related expenses (above and beyond child support) if you think the offer is unfair.[/quote]
