[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's only known a few weeks and she already knows for sure she wants to divorce? What does the DH want to do?

I know she is in shock, but I think she should totally slow play this, go to counseling, etc. and give herself time to get her ducks in a row before demanding a divorce. [/quote]

OP here- DH wants to continue his long-time multi-year affair/s.  That's why she's almost 100% sure of divorce.  Her head is spinning it's all happening so fast.  He hasn't moved out, so the financial situation hasn't changed yet.
Yes, she knows she has to go back to work.  10+ years ago, he was the one who wanted her to quit to stay home with the kids.  Then he ramped up his "travelling" for work, and she handled almost 100% of everything at home for years.
She really doesn't think he'll want split custody- he barely wants to see his kids as it is.

IMHO, she definitely deserves the max financial support from him.  He ruined her life.  She could have kept working years ago and been so much better off now, but he took that away from her.  She will need to work her way back up, which will take years.  I know- I'm a high level manager now.  I want to help her network again- but at the right time.[/quote]
