Randy: I think if you make it legal you will have to pay the child support unless you can get it waved till a certain date...say the day the lease ends...I am not sure...what if on of you start to date during this year...it will be hard to bring someone home...and the kids will figure it out believe me...mine were young and they figured it out...at least they knew things were "different"...I wish you the best and I hope that maybe you can work things out and not get divorced...the kids would appreciate that...(:
