My never ending divorce just keep dragging out. My wife is an active alcoholic. In the last year, she’s received a felony DUI, went to jail for 5 days, ended up in the hospital for alcohol and Benzo overdose. My lawyer is telling me I should just finalize the dissolution of marriage for now and table the settlement. I have custody of our minor child and I feel like her recent behavior clearly indicates she is not a fit mother. So as sad as I am for what she’s going through, I feel like to get the best judgment in spousal support (I hope 0), I think it’s best to strike while the iron is hot. I mentioned this to him and he said “Oh you think she’ll settle?”—well I don’t know but I sure want to try. Why should I give her more time to get her alcoholism/affairs in order. I want my child and I don’t think I should be paying her a dime. I support my daughter and feel if any kind of support is awarded, it should be to me. She quit her job for years ago and her parents support her. I’m in CA.
