1.) child development consultations. You need to do this in the least damaging way possible. Its not a one shot, you will need to continuously be looking around the corner for threats to their well being.

2.) Family law varies by parish/county. If you are somewhere that starts custody at 50/50 then count your blessings, but you are still screwed.

3.) You are screwed BC of the income delta. Its a standard normalization calculation for child support. That calc gets weighted further based on custody ratio.

4.) Does she have work credentials that go unused? If so, there is a thing called "failure to earn potential" or something of the sort. Attorneys have a book with credentials and what they should earn. That can go into the normalization calculation.

4.) Don't divorce if you can help it. You signed a contract with your child(ren) upon conception. Divorce is parents taking the cross off of their shoulders and placing it on their kids.

"Children are resilient" is a trashy phrase that selfish ppl say to justify doing selfish things.

I dont know your scenario so am just speaking in generalities. Just dont minimize the impact it has on children.

All true. Divorces suck and have an impact on children. But sometimes the effect of what’s going on inside the married household is far worse. Especially if there is abuse, alcoholism or severe marital strife. Better to give kids at least 50% of their time in a happy, stable household rather than 100% of their time in a dysfunctional, volatile, or abusive household.
