Hey Phil, I thought maybe we could change subject a bit and talk about your kids a little today.
In the midst of all the craziness in your life I have seen a pattern of inconsistancy for the children.
I am wondering why it is that you have not set a firm schedule for your kids? While separation is going on your children need some structure in their lives.
You and the W seem to do a lot of swapping when it is handy for each of you rather than a set time with the kids.
She wanted this separation and sometimes it is beneficial to give them a glimpse of what divorce would mean. Maybe it is time for you to propose a parenting plan with structured times for your children to be with you and with her.
My concern is that the more y'all do this flip flop back and forth, hour here, hour there stuff, the more messed up your kids are going to be. If your kids know that on these days they are with dad, and the other days they are with mom, it sure would make their lives better structured and easier to manage.
Not for nothing but switching your D out after midnight is a little crazy and unstable. Not for you and wife, for D.
So rather than talk of filing, how about maybe starting to actually show her what Divorce would look like and see if it is what she really wants.
