In any other scenario I would haven been completely fine about my wife wanting to leave, but I can't stop thinking about my son. In the long term (if my wife moves out of state) I want to have equal care and custody of him, but I don't want to go the lawyer route. Has anybody had any success in obtaining some sort of compromise with their spouses regarding this?

I haven't been able to sleep much; woke up to a nightmare.
