Cake eating WAW in MLC and EA part 2

[CABBR]

Last night I mentioned to my W that we should tell the kids sooner rather than later and she now doesn't want to. She thought we should just tell them we "aren't getting along." To which I responded that it isn't fair to them they are already hurting and questioning everything.

She said we still don't have a plan.

I asked is it your intention to move out of this house?
W:yes.

Do you intend to buy another house in town?
W: yes.

M: Sounds like a plan.

She says nothing can be done until some of the properties are sold and that she's entitled to half the marital equity. I said yes your are. But what you're entitled to will not provide sufficient equity to buy another house. She thought I would make up the difference and I don't think I'm obligated to do that.

I said that I don't know what you make (she has a half a dozen part time jobs) and what you will need, and therefore don't know what my finanical commitments will be.

My W says to assume that it will not be much until she can get re-established in a career of some kind.

My W has realized the obvious fact that she will not have the money to buy a place and move out until several months into the new year at the earliest.

She appears to want to use the interim time to her best financial advantage, i.e. we live in the same house so that she doesn't have to make much money while she gets her ducks in a row. This arrangement also has the added bonus of slowly prying the kids way from the concept of a nuclear family. This feels like more of the same, i.e. cake eating.
