Without getting into detail, it has been a terrible few years. I was thinking of getting a divorce and then my wife informed me she was pregnant. Well, we now have a 1 year old baby and even more to argue/fight about.
Currently she decided to take an extra 6 months before going back to work (after maternaty leave). I have been in and out of work for the past several years due to medical reasons of an auto accident.
I have tried counceling and it just doesn't seem to help. It's looking like a divorce is going to be the only solution that will end the fight. I don't want my daughter to have to grow up in a combat zone.
Does the court take into consideration maternaty leave when figuring out support payments? I am not sure if I should wait for my wife to go back to work (as she will make more money than I do), or start proceedings now.
In thinking about our daughter, I'd rather have her grow up with two seperated parents who are civil to each other. She is young enough not to realize that we are getting seperated and have to go through the divorce process. I just don't want to get the short end of the stick and be paying for my wife with support payments when she can work, and make far more money and give our daughter a better future than if I was trying to pay for the whole thing by myself.
Any advice is appreciated.
