Does this really change anything? I mean....I knew she wanted to end the marriage. All this does is formalize how we move ahead with regard to money, the house, custody. These are all issues we were discussing anyway.
Why not respond with a post nup rather than separation ? That will settle the same issues but it is not "step one" of a divorce.
I'm reeling from relief that I now know what she expects for money but I'm also hurting because she has taken this next step. My goal is to stay calm. What has me very distraught though is my lack of contact with my son. He has got to be confused. It'll be nearly a month before I see him again.
