Anyway, huge discussion tonight. He has gotten all this legal advice and that is keeping him from going to MC. He claims we need to be legally separated first otherwise MC looks like we are still married. He is afraid that the longer it takes to be separated, the more alimony he will have to pay, because the longer we have been technically married. So the catch twenty two he's offering is - get legally separated, then maybe H 'll go to MC. Otherwise, just living separately doesn't count as legally separated and going to MC looks like reconsiliation.
I"m so mad all he is thinking about is money. He's afraid he'll leave a divorce with nothing and I'll have the house and our S so he wants reassurance that this won't happen before he takes any risk to continue in MC. It's crazy. Help!
