What is the name of your state? Maryland
Both my ex-wife and I are doctors. (I'm in anesthesia and she's in family medicine.) We have two children. We have a temporary custody order where we currently have joint legal and joint physical custody of the kids- 1/2 time with me, 1/2 with wife. And we are about to settle our custody issue. One thing she has brought up recently is that she wants in the custody order is that, if one of us changes jobs, then that parent has 30 days to tell the other parent that he's changing jobs and that the new job's income is _________.
I will always make more money than my ex-wife, just by virtue of our specialties in medicine. My attorney says the reason my ex-wife wants this in the custody order is because she wants to know when I make substantial money and then take me to court as soon as possible.
Regardless, what I'd like to know is this: is what my ex-wife asking for (eg, a clause that makes each parent responsible to tell the other side of job changes and job incomes) reasonable? I'm ready to settle this if it's reasonable. (I do have an attorney but here she said she doesn't have any advice.)
Thanks, anything would be helpful.
