So, I'm assuming there is some sort of attorney/mediator involved in a legal sep. to figure out child support/custody, spousal support, etc...? Does it mean one of us would have to take our name off the house? I'm still confused.
A legal separation can be done without any outside assistance if he is willing to work with you on it. You come to your own settlement about the finances and child custody.
The "basic" form is here. You attach whatever settlement, support, and custody forms you want to it. (I know it probably is overwhelming since most people aren't familiar with the forms, but if you just go one line at a time and/or get some help from a free clinic (the county will have one), they're not too bad).
I love how kids haven't learned modesty yet lol.
Regardless of how much or little his parents will help him out, having a few days where he has to deal with the kids will be a bit of an eye-opener I think. Maybe not at first, but hopefully, eventually, he'll realize you do a lot and you do your best.
