[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in the same boat right now but maybe ahead of you in terms of legal consults. You need to have a signed separation agreement that both of you sign and that is notarized and that dictates temporary arrangements for everything from bill paying to custody to household maintenance. In a perfect world this is easy to generate via ChatGPT and both of you sign it and move on.

My DH refuses to even discuss it so I have to get temporary orders, which means you have to go to court and get a court-ordered temporary separation agreement. Not fun.

I am only getting through because DH has a bunch of back to back work trips which I am using to collect all of the financial documentation I can. You need to do this- look up lists online but you need W2s, tax records, mortgage statements, both of your 401k and paycheck info, etc. I also pulled health insurance receipts for my DH (and documented that he had left them in a public place) for treatment for a mental health issue which he has repeatedly told me he doesn’t have.

Also photograph/video everything in your house and move sentimental and precious things that belong to you or your children (baby book, your childhood stuff, figurines from a grandma, etc) to a friend’s house if you can.

I’m also quietly telling a handful of friends in and out of state from various parts of my life the truth in case things get really ugly. I’ve hidden it for so long and I felt a lot of shame but I feel safer now.[/quote]

NP. You have your stuff in order and are taking the correct steps..  Best of luck to you.
