You want her to work so you have more income yet if you left
She would ONLY want $400. A month child support?
How if you can't manage on your income together in the same house does she expect to manage on her own with only $400. A month?
And you would have your own separate bills not living there
To cause you to then really NEED MORE income than the two of you have now living together?
WHY do you want a divorce?
IF it is solely because of financial stress because she will not get a job you need to realize that leaving will only cause MORE financial problems.
IF you stay together and she were to work how old are your kids?
If they are young enough that they have to have babysitters if you both have to work the same hours that often can cost as much as a minimum wage job so you end up working for the child care and the transportation to and from work. Which it does sound like they are most likely probably between ages 5 and 10 which would require child care.
You really need to work this through in every aspect before you give up
Financially
Discussing where and how things went wrong and if it is possible to fix it
Trying to get the spark back
Counselors
You may have tried these but if it is at all salvageable you should make one last effort
Last but not least, you can make her sign a paper saying she only wants $400. A month, even have it notorized, BUT that would NOT hold up in court any way because she is ALWAYS free to go file for court ordered child support which supersedes any piece of paper.
