We're not at the stage of filing, yet. She is moving out and says that it's permanent, but there is always that possibility that she could change her mind. There are post on here that prove that.
The attorney said that if we can work things out between us regarding property, separation expenses, etc. it will be a lot easier on the both of us. I'm trying to be prepared, but this separation/divorce isn't my idea and I have no plans to file myself. If she wants to end this marriage, she'll have to be the one that does it and the one that will have to live with that decision. My position is that I think things can be repaired.
I can't stop her from leaving and I can't stop her from divorcing me, but I plan to be prepared when and if the time comes. I do not view this forum as legal advice, but knowing what others have done is helpful.
