Hey Forrest I just wanted to say that I agree with your parents. Go see a lawyer. I'm not saying get a divorce but get a seperation agreement. Trust me on this one. I'm really into law and have worked for lawyers for years. I've also watched so many friends get screwed over because they didn't have one and right now my brother is having problems with his partner and so hes trying to get an agreement in place. You kinda have to when kids are involved. Thats the one thing that H and I are arguing about at the moment. The good thing about a separation agreement is you put a clause in there saying that if you and your wife get back toegther for x amount of days, as husband and wife, then the agreement is null and void. But this covers your butt. I'm not sure what the law is where you are but it's worth it to get it checked out. Right now your wife can take off with the kids(not saying she will or anything) and there's nothing you can do about it. On the other hand if you have an agreement in place she has to notify you if she plans to take the kids out of the city kinda deal. It's a good thing to have. Now don't get me wrong I hope that you and your wife work this out eventually and get back toegther. Providing that is what you still want. But in the meantime cover your butt please. You're way too nice to get screwed over. Also this sets up a payment schedule for child support and alamony if she qualifies for it. But because it's all in writing she can't change it all the time. I'm sorry if I'm butting in but I don't want to see you go through anymore pain.
