I'm wondering if there are any divorced dads here, and what the price is for child support and alimony.

Why ? Are you planning to join the club ?

LOL Oh if only I were back in college.....life was so much simpler back then. Yes, I've a feeling it's much cheaper to keep her but what price is true happiness worth?

The alimony part depends on how many years you've been together in most states. Its probably safe to assume you're losing the house, 75% of your income (alimony + child support) and your kids sooner or later will really resent you as the guy that messed up their lives. I'm not trying to be a prick, this is reality and something you need to consider no matter how convincing an argument your penis makes to the contrary.

i've never known a single person who went astray and didn't regret it. there are definitely compelling reasons for divorce and i wouldn't presume to judge anyone, but leaving for another is the worst possible reason, imo.....

beyond these realities are impacts that many people fail to anticipate up-front. there are wide, residual effects associated with almost every friend and extended family member... particularly in the instance when "another man/woman" is the reason or excuse....

God, the child support figures for a homemaker wife are staggering!! Doesn't leave much to try and make it anew......and I guess NY is a state (of course it is) where they feel the wives should get alimony for the rest of their lives. Geez all this alone is enough to make one just suck it up and keep one's head down.
