There aren't even that many of those.

And I guess is here what it comes down to - we can probably move into an apartment or condo where the kids might have to share a room (they are same gender). How much do you involve them in discussions.

And to be clear, this isn't some situation where it's going to shock the kids. They may actually be relieved even if they are sad. This is a long time coming.[/quote]

Get a family therapist and involve them in the process and discussions about the transition. Sharing a room is completely doable. If you can get a condo or rent to own in this area with a willing seller, that can help. I agree it is practical to prepare for the worst while hoping/expecting for the best. Save as much as you can. Open single lines of credit for yourself right now if you can for emergency backup. Save space and square footage costs by reducing the items you own (selling? offering to ex and capturing a payout for that?). Storage units hold a lot of items for $200 or less. You don’t have to fit everything into the same space and this does not have to be a forever home you go to when you call leave.

Take pictures of everything in your home for inventory, pictures of your shared resources, financial records, cost of living, past salary, taxes, health related info.

Do you think you can settle out of court without an attorney? Or does the dynamic between you not lend itself towards that possibility?[/quote]
