Thanks all. Just a few things. H has less income than I do. Not by much though since I pay family medical and dental from my job as he has none available.

That follows that I have no $ for a lawyer and neither does he. For the last year or more he has only given me $200 a week from his check. Barely enough left for anything after that.

Consulted with a lawyer when this all started 2 yrs ago after I found out he had done so. But H doesn't want anything except 50% of the custody so he won't have to pay me. We have a mortgage but I am guessing that he is thinking since I get to keep the house free and clear of him that he'll expect me to pay it in full even though it is in both names. We'll see I guess.

I do not want a divorce and will not sign anything. I will make him wait and suffer. However, he is a procrastinator and I will be very surprised if he does anything legal like anytime in the near future. This is the 3rd time he has told me he wasn't staying. The first was Dec 05. Oct 06, day after our 18th anniversary. Dec 06. Was staying until after xmas that time. One night I told him to leave. Before xmas. But he is still here. The original separation was 6/05. When he returned I said the only thing I wanted was honesty and communication so I didn't get a bomb dropped again. SURPRISE! Told me nothing, had I not confronted him he would've just told me as he was moving his stuff-or maybe afterwards. Said he would do it while the kids were at school--clueless as usual, he told me this when the kids had 1 full day of school left, the next day. DUH. He is in for a rude awakening.
