Long story short, "wife" and I on off for 7 years and have 2 kids. Wife is a stay at home mom and planning to have her mom downpayment a house and expect my child support to pay for it. I make over 6 figures. We never got a marriage certificate but had a wedding ceremony. I'm getting a lawyer to try and get 50/50 custody to minimize child support. The side bar divorce prep not sure if applied to me hopefully I won't lose a dime in divorce since no marriage certificate. Any insights?
