No matter how rigged the courts are, it can't be worse than spending 100% of your money taking care of the two of you. You'll still need to stay in the same city for custody, but at least you can switch to a less stressful job.

Also, you should keep your eyes peeled for remote jobs.

"...but at least you can switch to a less stressful job."

Nope, the courts will force child support and probably alimony based on the current job rather than some lower paying job one might get during/after any divorce.

How much lower paying are we talking about here?

Alimony probably isn't going to be a big deal, since I'm assuming by the age of your child you haven't been married for too long.
