You don't take the father away - you promote as much and the best relationship between them that you can.
There are lots of variiables. The divorce can be somewhat smooth or very very nasty. Depends on the two people involved. Unless your wealthy expect to be very broke for a while. Single parenting is tough but lots of people do it.
Just curious here - what is the problem with leaving D6 with her teenage 1/2 brothers ? I have with my D from age five and still do three years later. I never thought of it as any kind of problem.
