BOMB WAS DROPPED!! Now What??

I see your point. At this point, my thought is that if she doesn't rush into filing and we are peacfully cohabitating, I will be able to continue my DBing and 180's along with GAL activities. She metioned that neither of us have any business, financially, going out and taking on more debt by renting a second dwelling. We both currently have personal checking/savings accounts and a joint account that I facilitate. And there's no risk of that breaking me, it merely holds the monthly operating funds.

Moreover, Michigan is a no-fault state. All marital property is divided 50/50 in the event the two parties can't come to an amicable settlement re: division of property. If she decides she wants the house, she'll have to buy me out in cash and visa/versa. At this point, everythings seems reasonable.

As far as custody, we are both in agreement that minimizing trauma for our kids is priority #1. I have an appointment with my therapist tomorrow and I'll bring up the children and our discussion re: shared time away.
