Hello, My situation is pretty complex. Thank you in advance for all your help.
I'm very wealthy. I live in South Carolina. I'm engaged to be married to man who lives in North Carolina. He has an ex wife and two children who live in North Carolina as well. We will be living in North Carolina once we marry.
He will be quitting his job once we get married. We will live off the money I have saved and invested. He will not be returning to the work force.
He is required to pay alimony to his ex wife for another 6 years. He also has child support on one child for another 3 years and on the other 8 years. We are planning to continue as is on the alimony and child support, just continue to pay it from my moneys.
When they got divorced they didn't use lawyers and they created a separation agreement together. It has left a lot of things very open ended. It says in there that once a year she can come to him and ask for more child support and if they mutually agree then she gets it.
My questions are that now that he's quitting his job and we are together that she can come to us and try to get much, much more money just because now his net worth is so much greater. Can she do this?
Another question is there anyway we can go back and amend the orginial seperation agreement to put a 'cap' on the amount she will ever receive from us?
Or can we just take her to court and let a judge/jury figure this one out for us? Is that possible? What are my options, to protect me, him and keep her from just trying to rake in more money?
Thank you so much,
Bunny
