[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hire help or send the kid to Dad for a while.  You have plenty of income and the real issue is you are separated and planning to divorce.  I don't see the issue was you have income so you will not get alimony.  The situation sounds bizarre to me.[/quote]

OP here. PP, I would need to almost stop working completely to be able to prepare for the bar exam. But that is not the issue, as I have savings and could live off them during that time. My main problem is that my husband thinks that I do not want to take the second bar exam on purpose, even though I "have time" because I have the luxury of not working.[/quote]

OP here again. In other words, I feel hurt and underappreciated.

I just wanted to get impartial people's impression of whether I was being lazy/unreasonable or him lacking empathy.

PP, I am not sure what help to hire other than a couple of hours of online tutoring per day. I do not trust people coming into my home yet. Where we live only 5% of the population has been vaccinated.[/quote]

NP here.  I may be missing something but this doesn’t make sense.  If you were a single mom you would not have moved to a more expensive state, where you needed to study for the bar exam while earning an income with an elementary age child that needs close supervision for online learning.  You might more near family that agreed to help out, or move someplace cheap enough that you could work less hours or someplace that had in person school like certain states or private school which would have given you some of that time back to work or study for the bar.  Maybe your soon to be ex is a jerk but if you flipped this around and the DH moves to another more expensive state with the kids to “protect them from COVID” and then wanted to have you pay more money so they could oversee online learning, maybe work a few hours, and still not have enough time to study for the bar in that state ..[/quote]
