Newbie needs help:husband left Saturday

[dxw689]

keep_going, floydman and others: Well, I just got back from the lawyer's, and essentially, what I was beginning to suspect from doing a little digging on the 'net is true: It is all bad for me. I work my but off, make more than him, he is getting laid off, I also have more assets in my name, including retirement accts, we have equity in the house, but it is all marital property, and he can move out and in with another woman, have my kids sleep with them, and then he is legally entitled to actually MORE of our joint assets - most of which are in my name, because he makes less than I do. It is unbelievable. And although I would like to stand for the marriage, waiting for him to make a legal move could be worse for me $wise etc. So the upshot, is the advice I got was to try to come to a divorce agreement with husband - which means ME bringing up the divorce - which is not what I want - I don't want to have this conversation with husband. It is a no-win situation.
