@variablepulserate being a child that came from modest means, I know how to do it. Unlike my soon-to-be ex, who has never been poor a day in her life.

@matigo between what I have to pay to support her and my own relatively modest living expenses, I’m forced to spend more than I’m bringing in on a monthly basis. I have had to eliminate my retirement deduction and I have somewhat of a buffer in savings, but it’s not sustainable long term, at least if I remain in the Pacific Northwest.
And yes, I do have near-term plans to move out of the area. Thankfully, I can complete the divorce process without being here.
@matigo it’s a good thing I don’t care that much about money. That said, I do care that I have enough to cover my expenses. Seems the courts care more about hers than mine, though, but I think I’ll be able to manage.
@jussipekonen she went up against the legal system in Washington State, which is pretty skewed against those who make money. 🙄
Well, the hearing in my divorce didn’t exactly go as planned. On the plus side, I now see a clear path forward.
@jussipekonen I submitted more than a year’s worth of pay stubs as part of my financial disclosure. The net income varies throughout the year due to changing tax deductions.
My soon-to-be ex is trying like hell to inflate my income in the court’s eyes so she can demand more money from me. There’s a word for that…
@matigo the original order was based on incomplete information about my financials and I have no idea how that can be considered reasonable per RCW 26.09.090 [app.leg.wa.gov].
Her request? I probably wouldn’t even be able to afford to live in my car.
I entirely reversed Type 2 Diabetes during my marriage to the Respondent, yet she’s now admitted in court documents to undergoing foot treatments related to diabetes, which I admit was news to me. And she has the audacity to ask for sole authority to make healthcare decisions for our daughter? Yeah, not if I have anything to say about it.
