Oh good lord. That sounds terrible. I am looking at 50/50 custody of the kids, but still have to pay child support and alimony at about $2100 a month. That stings. Could have bought a Ferrari!! At least there isn’t much property to divide, as the house we live in belongs to my family. In California you have to wait 6 months after filing to be divorced, but you need to have all the settlement stuff worked out first, so that is what is taking so long. She tried to get the house, but I think she is realizing its a losing battle.
