I'm just wondering if there have been any other moms in my situation out there. I'm about to sign our divorce settlement but feel very uneasy and people are telling me to go to court to get a better deal. I've been married 11 years and have not worked in 7 (SAHM) I've decided to get my 2 year accounting degree to help find a better paying job (I've worked in banking in the past) and still be able to stay at home with my 4 year old until he starts school.
He makes $85,000/yr. ($7000/mo) What do you think would be a good settlement? Not knowing what the courts will say, I'm told it depends on the judge you get that day and my lawyer is not much help, but this is almost done now and I don't want to look for another. He will have them 35% of the parenting time.
