I don't know, Sherron. There are a lot of functioning alcoholics in this world.
But in her own best interest, she would be a fool to try to keep homeschooling and not seeking full-time employment quickly. No matter what her divorce settlement is, it won't be enough to sustain her long-term.
TomatoFace, one more bit of advice. If this gets ugly, simply throw up your hands and say "That's not enough. I can't get by on that. You will just have to take the kids. I'll work full time and pay you $83 a week in CS."
My ex was playing hard-ball until I did that. He kept threatening to take the kids from me, thinking that would scare me so badly that'd I'd agree to anything to keep them. So, I called his bluff. I said "ok, you are just going to have to take them. You'll have to change jobs, stop traveling, stop drinking, stop working overtime and make taking care of the kids your top priority while I spend the next decade focusing on my career...and I'll pay you $83 a week in CS. Bobby has a haircut appointment next Friday, Susie has a dr. appt. tomorrow at 1:00. Billy has to be at a birthday party at 10:00 on Saturday. Susie has soccer 3:00 - 5:00 every Tuesday and Thursday."
