[quote=Anonymous]OP your situation sucks, but you need to stop being so passive. 1. you will feel better. 2. it will be better for your child.

You can let your wife dictate the terms of your separation (you pay mortgage, you don't get to see child) or you can have a voice in them.

Plenty of people have separated and divorced uncooperative partners, so I know there are alternatives to just waiting it out for the next 8 years. Find a lawyer who will advise you about how to make the break (how to move out, whether to take child etc).

When your wife sees you are taking action, she will probably get angry and try to retaliate, but stand your ground and set boundaries. You have a right to see your child and you don't have to pay for everything on your own.

At some point your wife may decided to be a reasonable human being and negotiate or go to mediation. Or she may not.... in which case, you will go to court and a judge will decide custody (very likely 50/50 if that's what you want) and settlement of assets (you'll probably have to sell the house).

Good luck. Be strong. And know that when this is all over you (and your child) will be in a better place.[/quote]
