Thanks!  Yes, I hope so.  We both have very good careers so money won't be an issue.  I feel like once the kids are bigger I can just go if I want.  But, for right now, I like the idea of being with them everyday and giving them a solid homelife, even if it is not optimal for me personally (in the romance dep't anyway).[/quote]

Except that money may actually be an issue. If you wait until you are 50 to get divorced, you have less time to rebuild your finances, and you will like need more than 1/2 of the family pot.

Your partner will also be 50 and will also have "less time to rebuild their finances" and will also need more than 1/2 of the family pot.

You can't both have more than half.[/quote]

This line of argument makes no sense. Whatever wealth you have now, you split it 50/50.
After the split, will YOU accumulate (individual) wealth FASTER than if you'd stayed together?
Not likely: your expenses will be higher living independently versus with your ex spouse.
Furthermore, how is YOUR income compared to his? If you make LESS than he does, there 
would be smarter to stay married longer, accumulate more wealth, THEN split the larger pie 50/50.
