Actually - we were supposed to be together at the lawyers office, and like you, I also was not too thrilled at the prospect of sitting next to my W and signing the LS. Because of snow storm here in NY, it turned out that I could sign at a notary public - which is actually a friend of the family, and then my wife will sign it in their presence, and she'll be dropping at the lawyers office today. So - in my case - I didnt have to sit next to her, although that was the original plan.
Great suggestions about being at the house or not as the case may be. I will have to look for activities with them outside the house. My apartment will be no match for the cable tv, internet, and comforts of home for the girls. I will juggle that as best I can.
In NY - the Legal Seperation is a bit loose as I understand - we can mutually agree to rip up and send a note to the clerk of the court and its over. But - if it goes the other way - it is considered the grounds for divorce in a year.
On the happy side - my daughters will be helping me clean my apartment tonight to prep for my move there this weekend - and that will be quality time for me with them - so I'm looking forward to that - away from the house........
