[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are responsible for those who you had tamed. You can’t kick out a father of your child without a home, financial support and medical insurance. It won’t be good for your growing son to see 50/50 his dad who’s basically a low life bum. A good friend of mine divorced her alcoholic husband as there was no more spousal relationship. She’s in a high earning finance job. I don’t know their support arrangements on paper, but she continues taking her ex husband to doctors, he still lives in their marital home when she’s traveling, and ex husband follows the family whenever she relocates to a new country for work establishing banks. Children wanted it that way that dad would not be left behind, the whole family fights for him for the kids, even though they are divorced. The lady is in her 50s and doesn’t plan to remarry. 
Since you delayed divorce for so long, your husband is now more than just a spouse, he is and will remain your close relative due to having a son together. You will be responsible for him financially for several years [/quote]

I hope you understand that this quote refers to a flower.  Not a grown-ass man with two legs and two arms.

I don't understand the argument that her husband's lack of job or life skills is somehow her problem.  He's an adult.  What would he do if he wasn't married to her? Live under the bridge? OP can help him for a few years to get his act together.  But it is absolutely not her problem that he makes no money, and it is not her responsibility to provide him with a place to live or medical insurance.

OP, if I were you, I would consult with an attorney on winning a more favorable custody arrangement than 50/50.  I can't imagine your husband is a fit parent.

Don't concern yourself with the house.  Where you will live will be a function of what you can afford.  If you can afford your house, you can keep it (if you buy him out.)  It doesn't sound like he can afford it. [/quote]
