Hey, I know it is confusing, but it is important to make decisions that are not based on fear.

Lets start with the house. Do you want to live there? If you say yes, then "I have decided I am not moving out of my house."

Everyone else can react however they want, you will then need to calmly respond.

Example: If lawyer says any thing about judges making decisions, then you can calmly respond "I understand. Until a judge orders me out of my house, I plan on staying."

Example: If wife says anything, calmly say "I can see why you would feel that way. I have decided to stay in my house. You are free to leave if you want"

If she threatens to take your child, calmly say "I am sorry you feel that way. You are free to leave, but if you remove our child from the marital home, I will file an injunction with the courts."

Of course, you could just listen and validate, then come back here get a good response to send in letter, text or emails.....
