But only after I got married. From support in large law firms (salary, OT and benefits) to legal recruiting in small companies. Often leaving will mean less money but more flexibility and I wanted that when I had kids.

Moral support from family and friends helps. Even if you do have a spouse who is working it may be a financial adjustment but you'd be surprised what you can cut if you're motivated.

Good luck!!
