Unlike child support, spousal support is often very difficult (if not impossible) to modify after the divorce is final, so getting it right the first time is a must!
also, I guess what I really need is some heart tugging analogies and reasonings to help illustrate to her the injustice of the SS without pissing her off. So, I humbling ask of those of good reason and experience to pitch in and help a poor b*stard out.
and after giving it some more thought I would take her back if she changes her mind. yep, I'd swallow my pride and try to make the best of it, because she has me by the balls. Then I would just hope for changes in the laws and/or the circumstances.
i will come out of this ok, somehow, even if i have to pay. I will just increase my own income afterwards to compensate, lord knows I'll be motivated. uhhh, she would have no rights to future income increases, correct? please tell me "no", please!
thansk again everyone (male and female alike) I do appreciate the since of community i have found here.
