[quote=Anonymous]As someone in the new-to-this, I'd strongly encourage you to think about apartment buildings and on a metro line. With parking space. When you  are a single mom, dealing with a lawn, shwoveling snow off the car or out of the driveway, fixing the gutters when they start to leak, it all can feel very very burdensome, because of the pressures on you.

You might post in off topics and ask about kid-friendly apartment buildings and get some ideas of buildings in which to look?

You should start thinking ahead to assets: make sure you have a copies of all financial papers (bank statements, account #s, balances), especially if he's been handling the finances. Make sure ou have information about the house (mortgage, title certificate insurance) and insurance policies (health, life, disability).

Start hording cash now in some place off the radar screen (can't be a savings account). Take from any marital assets, like his salary or a joint checking account ideally, to start building up this nest egg. If divorce is still some months off, you may be able to build a substantial cache that will be "yours" and no need to divide it.

IF you can do it, separate in the summer, so that the kids experience a more natural transition, but.... of course they will survive anything and I'd make this the smallest of your considerations.[/quote]
