"What exactly are these "papers"?"

It is a separation agreement it includes things like child custody, payments, who gets the house, things like that FB2. Yes I am being somewhat elusive in the term but I don't think I need to go into a lot of detail. VA is a "No Fault State" as long as you both agree to "Irreconcilable Differences" then there is not much more needed. We do have to go the year separated because of the kids. My D will be 17 in a few months my S will be 9 this year. We have agreed on a 50/50 custody she will be the primary caregiver. She would not agree to move out and felt it was necessary to keep the kids in the house... going to the same school and everything. I don't disagree. I have some "anger" about walking away from the house but I am OK with it. I have spent a lot of time fixing it up and making it nice. It is just disappointing to leave all that behind. The document will protect me and her in this time. I know what to do as far as protecting myself. Remember, I research everything before I jump. Really when it comes down to it the only thing I could "loose" I have already given away. (House)

As much as I hate this situation.. I don't know that I would have done much differently. We have proved that money was not our issue. We have proved that it just comes down to me and her and the ideas of what a "perfect" life is. Maybe my goals are too low.. maybe hers are too lofty. I just know that it comes down to the choices we have made together. I have learned a lot from all this "crap" and it has and will mold me into a better person.

Thanks for being there FB2.
