1) Go see a Lawyer ASAP. Don't argue with me, JUST DO IT. Find out EXACTLY what your legal rights are and work accordingly.
2) Separate your finances IMMEDIATELY. She wants to live alone and make a go of it then you should honor her wish. It's called living in reality. Give her a FULL dose of it.
3) Get yourself to independent counseling ASAP. You've been in a warzone. You're going to need some kind of wind-down.
4) Step up and take care of your family. That means you make sure your kids are provided for with shelter, love and support. Be there for them.
