[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG, DB is going to be *told* that they're getting divorced, and by the way, you are moving by yourself to your newly assigned apartment complex?

Yap, this is going to get ugly.  She is planning for what *she* thinks is best for the kids, but co-parenting requires a lot of flexibility.  DB needs to be given notice, and they need to plan together before telling the kids.  But, you can't make any of that happen, so just start looking for another position.[/quote]

DB has no money.  He has only a very small income from a very part time (10 hrs per week) job.  She is selling the family home and moving somewhere smaller so that she can afford to pay rent on a two-bedroom apartment so that he has space for the kids to visit him.  She plans to pay his rent for the first year while he gets on his feet.  I am surprised that so many people believe that all divorces are bitter and acrimonious.  I know many families who have been through divorces (including my parents) and that majority have been able to look at heir differences through the lense of what is best for the kids.  I honestly know only one couple who had a nasty, messy divorce.[/quote]

I don't know the laws you have in your state regarding divorce and alimony, but she needs to figure out if she will be paying him alimony once it happens. She obviously makes more than he does, and this could happen. My current MB went through a divorce with a husband that had no real job anymore and she was forced to pay for him each month. They broke up 3.5 years ago, and divorced soon after. This month is finally her last month for paying alimony to him. You MB might end up having to pay for much more than just that 1 year if he ends up not being able to support himself (and depending on your state laws).[/quote]
