Convince your son and ex to leave as well. They shouldn't be there either. It's going to get even worse now that Potato Head is potus. Head to Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, Wyoming, New Hampshire or Tennessee. Those are the states that have zero income tax. California has the highest tax rates in the country and is mismanaged to the point the people are trying to kick out the governor because it's become a shit hole of gigantic proportion. Don't get left holding the bag.
