OP - You need to get a clear idea of what your financial situation is and what you will need not only now, but in terms of the future --- a job that will have health benefits and options to save for retirement.  Also have you a lawyer who has given you a clear view of what the asset distribution should be and anything that might be I included about contributing to a college education?  It seems like your EX is not thinking at all of what you will need to be able to find and keep a full-time job to be "on your feet.". Your  children will benefit from you having financial stability and child care stability.

I would look for a flexible child care provider NOW so that you can use it perhaps part-time now to look for a job and then set it up to go with your work schedule.  Get it written into the agreement that any extra hours due to EX's work schedule must be reimbursed by him.  He sees you as his child are provider for the kids, so you need to set boundaries.  also, bring laid off will not look good if the months fly by because you are focused only on the divorce.  You and your kids will benefit by you having a job in your field and building a career that provides a solid income if you are able to do so.  in the mean time be sure you have a budget and are making necessary changes to go from two to one income.[/quote]
