She's as stuck with you as you are with her. You are allowed to stand up for yourself.

Eh, the courts seem to be notoriously biased, so I doubt she's equally stuck.

No matter how rigged the courts are, it can't be worse than spending 100% of your money taking care of the two of you. You'll still need to stay in the same city for custody, but at least you can switch to a less stressful job.

Also, you should keep your eyes peeled for remote jobs.

"...but at least you can switch to a less stressful job."

Nope, the courts will force child support and probably alimony based on the current job rather than some lower paying job one might get during/after any divorce.

[Aunche]

How much lower paying are we talking about here?

Alimony probably isn't going to be a big deal, since I'm assuming by the age of your child you haven't been married for too long.

This is not good advice but as you stuck. Learn to lie and be manipulative.
