[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He works from home and can't get dinner on before you get back or unload the dishwasher? [/quote]

Correct [/quote]

To Op, I'm in a similar situation, but my H doesn't even work anymore and has no plans to ever again (he's not even 40 yet) He says he's a SAHD.  He sleeps until at least 11am, won't take kids to school, won't help with chores,etc.  He usually does make it to pick kids up from school though, but when I get home from work I have to make dinner and help with homework, laundry, etc.  I told him I couldn't deal anymore.

He told me to divorce him, he would get physical custody of kids since he's the sahm parent and I wouldn't be able to afford childcare, and child support from me (which I can't afford to pay)  I talked to a lawyer for advice and he told me he was likely mostly correct.  I've worked my entire life since 14, built up a 401k, but my husband took a huge loan from it and took out credit cards in my name and ran them up.  I have no way of proving I didn't take those cards out.

I'm just so tired and lost, and with 2 young kids, and can't afford divorce.  I hate him viscerally at this point, and then he complains about the lack of sex and feeling appreciated by me, but he barely does anything to earn my appreciation.

I'm just so exhausted.

So glad I got my tubes tied during my c section for our surprise 2nd baby.

OP, I feel for you, and others in a similar situation.[/quote]

You need to talk to another lawyer. He would not get full physical custody. Not by a long shot. He’s an able bodied adult who would be expected to become fully employed. The kids are in school. [/quote]
