If you have to take steps legally to assure your time with your children over the short term, do so - get it out of the way. I had to, and yes - it s*cked, and we both got hurt, and we both got angry. But once the agreement is done - it's done. End of story.
I don't know the laws of your state, but unless you pose some kind of plausible risk or danger to your children or could otherwise be proved an "unfit" parent I would guess that you will have as much access to them as she would.
Her wanting to be gone like "yesterday" is a pretty common theme with most WAW scenarios I have read here. My w could not WAIT to get out of this house and she was not afraid to let me know that in arguments. Let her out, figure out the time with the kids,mourn appropriately - it's natural, and then GET TO WORK ON YOURSELF!!! Don't constrain yourself with a 1-3 week timeframe . You have got a long, long way to go. Straighten up, get your head right and prepare. Chin up and go live. I have done this the wrong way and I have done it the way I am suggesting to you. Care to guess which resulted in me having contact with my W again?
