Maybe. At least, it might be close to 50/50. And if he pays an appropriate amount of child support you might not need that second job. And if you get what you are entitled to in the property settlement.

Yes, but it looks like a fight, and that there may be room to compromise.

Yes. If he makes significantly more, then he should be paying child and spousal support, which would allow you to cut back to one job and spend time with the kids.
