[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've posted in this thread 4-5 times.

I second what 12:08 wrote.

Incidentally, although not relevant to O.P.'s situation, here in MD, spousal support typically doesn't come into play unless there is a two to three times earnings disparity between the parties.

In all jurisdictions, both parties always have child support obligations, which are subject to modification at any time, based on a "change of circumstances," and the "best interests of the child(ren).  Also, unlike alimony, child support payments are not tax deductible.

O.P., you agreed to the deal.  Yes, it sucks for you.  But, you're in the homestretch, and have moved on with your life, which includes a new wife and child.

With all this in mind, I still suggest doing a cost-benefit analysis.

But, now, I'm also adding on the advice of taking an emotional inventory of yourself, and to think how going into battle will impact not only you, but your new wife and daughter as well.

Because, going to war with your ex will certainly distract from your relationships with them, economically, emotionally, and psychologically.

Such is my last posting on this topic.[/quote]

Thank you for your time and ideas. I agree with you. I will do the cost analysis and most likely just ride it out.[/quote]
