Karen,

Chocolate Eyes is fiving you excellent advice.

Your husband is going to try one or more of these things:

1. Paint you as depressed and dysfunctional. This can go either way...to get custody of the kids OR to not have to pay alimony by claiming you are unfit to homeschool them.

2. Try to saddle you with the kids and just "start over" with OW and her kids. HE may try to pay you as little and expect you to get a job.

3. If he's forced to pay for the kids he'll want to get custody, so he'll not have to pay you to care for them.

I don't know his motivation: does he want the kids, does he want to save money?
