Not alimony, but you may still be required to pay child support. Why are you letting her keep the house? Let the child keep it and get joint physical custody of you.

Not if you hire a good lawyer.

If you don't then HER lawyer will see to it that she get far, far more than you would dream she deserves.

Good luck in that.
