[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you need a lawyer? Yes. Ask him/her these technical questions.

As far as custody goes... as someone whose parents divorced, don't make your kid bear the burden of this. [b]Shuttling back and forth has a cost for the kid[/b].[/quote]

I am not sure what is the alternative. Neither of us will agree to less than 50%. I was staying because I thought it was better for the kid but I am not convinced that growing up in a household where the parents basically do not talk to each other and where there is no affection is any healthier for the kid than separating. There is no cheating or abuse involved, just a lot of resentment and general incompatibility.[/quote]

I agree with OP. My parents had a bad marriage.

You need to consult an attorney to just get an idea of what is fair. Usually 50/50 of everything earned during the marriage. You need to start a separation date. You can't just move out with kids--you need a separaton/property settlement agreement with all terms of the divorce. What state are you in? You can do this through mediation or both using attorneys or you can do it with mediation and use an attorney (each) to review before signing. Does your husband know you want a divorce? Maybe he would agree. 50/50 custody, 50/50 assets earned during the marriage, and splittling proceeds of the house is pretty normal...not much to fight about. You need to get a separation date established and you need to figure out how you are going to divorce before you move.[/quote]
