I make 85000 a year, take home 72000. Will my stbx get half of that? I did a calculation online and it says she would be getting nearly 2400 a month (child support and spousal support total) that is insane! I take home 6000 a month!!! How am I supposed to survive on whats left? She has been a stay home mom for 15 years and works very part time and to top it off this year was diagnosed with an auto immune disorder that apparently doesn't get better but gets worse. Lovely. How can I get out of this?
