[quote=Anonymous]Calmly sat down on the couch and said "I want a divorce"...the SHTF pretty much immediately.  I was out of the house by the end of the day, and in another property we owned.  No kids, so they weren't an issue.  There was a fair bit of wrangling (for two years!) before we got the property agreement worked out.  I think it took her that long to accept that it was for real, and I wasn't coming back.

I had not talked to a lawyer first, and in hindsight, I'd recommend - even if you aren't sure you are going to leave - that you talk to one before you tell your spouse and absolutely before you move out of (abandon) the house.  You really want to have all your ducks in a row in case your spouse goes a little nuts - a lot of people stop behaving rationally.  At the very least, many are uncooperative in the extreme and make it as hard as possible for you to do.  Don't expect they will take it well, and assume that things will be worked out smoothly in a discussion.  If that happens, yatzhee!  If not, well, going in with legal advice and all your ducks lined up is your best bet.

You don't have to hire a high-powered expensive attorney; there are clinics that will help and will give you good legal advice about protecting your financial interests.  [/quote]
