I think we've finally reached a support agreement we can both accept. Now - this only lasts until...?<P>We have to have the settlement done in 60 days - by the time the divorce date is set?<P>All of these timing issues are so confusing -and at $100.00 ! - I'd rather ask the people who have been there and survived (well, that's always a matter of opinion, isn't it?!) <P>Can anyone help me put together a timeline kind of thing for when this that and the other thing occur?<P>Also, we live in an area where the bigger houses aren't selling right now because the biggest employer is having problems. Kids and I are still in the house. I know it has to be sold, I can't afford it on my own, but what about us continuing to live here until it sells? How much flexibility will a judge (if necessary) give me on that? Doesn't make a lot of sense to move out and leave it sit empty while it still has to be paid for...<P>Any advice? Thanks!<P>Teresa

ok.....<P>get as much time as you can.....<P>First look at how old your children are... can you still get support while they are in college???<P>YOU and the kids stay in the house and make him pay the house payment.<P>Make him carry you on his insurance till you can get your own....<P>Make him keep you as a beneficiary on his life insurance policy until the youngest is out of high school, or maybe even college..<P>Don't forget the spousal support....<P>Get everything you can and then some...<BR>even if it means the gold from his teeth...LOL<P>Make sure you and your kids are taken care of... thats the most important... and if it doesn't leave him(pig) enough to live on.... he can always get a second job at Walmart !!!!<P>Remember... this is what HE wanted !!<BR>Enough Said...<P>Scoick
