I'm trying to think through options around spousal support while separate but living under same roof for an extended period of time...
1. Option just go with CS + SS as per SSAG and split non personal expenses based on percentage of combined income
2. Pay just spousal support and split expenses based on percentage of combined income.
But I'm penalized because I can't deduct SS till we physically separate, so wondering if maybe applying the SSAG (no CS) calcuation but against net instead of gross might be a reasonable approach.
Also, any thoughts if I'm signficantly putting myself in excessive financial risks going this approach? Rule of 65 already applies, and it would be quite reasonable for her to claim needs based once on her own.
I'm not a saint, but I do wish to be reasonable. Shes still my kid's mom and we don't hate each other... yet.
