My wife and I were married for 2 yrs. I make about 2.5 times more than she does. She is more educated, mine is all Commission. My salary is 25k per year.The rest is strictly commission. I work in the building industry, right now, commissions are terrible. When we split, I offered to give her everything, all the material belongings, furniture, TV, silverware. I also offered to pay first months rent, and security deposit for a new place. I offered to pay all homeowners dues, keep her on my car insurance, and pay the Furniture payment every month. I offered to switch car payments, mine is lower, and offered to live in our home until it sold, paying all expenses. She turned all of it down.I have a daughter from a previous marriage that I support, I pay all expenses for her, with the exception of weekly groceries. Literally every expense, right down to giving her mother a credit card for medical bills, clothes, and the like.
Two months into the separation, I learn they are seeking 900 a month in alimony. I already pay her homeowners dues, her car insurance, and the furniture bill. I also cook and take her dinner when she needs it. I told her before we split, she could not afford the house, she still declined me. I offered the world, and she turned me down.
What do I do? I have no desire to go to court, but she is leaving me little alternative. I am not willing to cut back on supporting my daughter, and myself, to ensure she lives that life. Please tell me there is something I can do…
