So I will try to make a long story short. My wife and I are getting ready to appear for our hearing in Ohio for an uncontested dissolution of marriage. She makes 36k a year and I make 73k. We were married 7 and 1/2 years. Going into the process and even now we get along great and have two children. In our agreement I pay the full child support at about $1,200 a month and she does NOT want spousal support, in fact in the verbiage of the decree it states no court shall preside over it. We both just want it over with. I did refi the house in my name because she did not want to live in it any longer, pay our high mortgage payment, and because it is worth less than what I owe so we took car eof that before hand.
My question is for some reason I am getting nervous we will get into the court room and the judge will abritrarily order spousal support or deny the divorce because he wants her getting more even though she doesnt want it and in fact doesnt want to see me broke because of it. Am i worrying to much? Can this happen?

I wouldn't worry. After the CS transfer, your incomes are only $8000 apart....and after taxes, they will be about the same. If there's any question about it, make sure you bring that up.

You'd be better off with verbiage like my agreement.
Wife agrees she has no further claim on husbands income FOREVER.
If you ex moves in with a drug addict gigolo, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT. I'd get an expensive attorney to go over the paperwork with you, and voice all your questions NOW.
Best money you or me will ever spend. Find the attorney the lawyers in your town use for their divorces, he probably doesn't advertise...

Judges rarely if ever superceded and agreed upon settlement.

I agree with ILMimi -- spousal support is a common thing to waive -- I've never heard of a judge ordering it when the parties agree not to do it.

The worst I have ever heard a judge do in that situation is to point out to the woman that if she waives it today, she can't ever get it even if he hits the lottery tomorrow. And suggest that she ask for $1/yr to keep that option open. But if she refuses that is that.

7 1/2 years is a short duration marriage in any state. I would NOT worry. You are wasting your energy worrying.

Never say that. There was a poster here that was in a 4 yr marriage, no kids, not a whole lot between them and his stbx had either a master's or bachleor's degree and she still got a good bit of alimony.

I have been divorced 3 years now. EX has been on unemployment, jail, not around bla bla bla. He now has a job of 10 months. I have agreed when he was on unemployment to change the support order w/CS so...that has reduced it by $700 a month for 2 teenage boys. I am filing a letter now that he is employed for the CS review, can I get the back/difference in CS for the past year that it was not the full amount and if so how do I word it in the letter??
Thank you anyone that can help!
