One more thing, Scooby, I stunk at dealing with the financial and it's biting me in the A$$.
However, I have always been pretty good at dealing with the abusive stuff that comes my way.
Here's what I've learned:
If he even hints at hurting you or the kids, call 911. In our state, someone goes to jail. In the long run, this will only help your case in getting him to live elsewhere. You will have these records to back up any claim for a restraining order.
My H was a big one for saying he'd never leave and blah, blah, blah... What I learned, if he is threatening and causing emotional upheaval for you and the kids (like possibly having an affair AT the house), then you have ground to force him out.
I know this is scary stuff. But, you gotta face it. Otherwise, either your anger or his will take a turn for the devil and you won't be able to recover as easily. Don't mess with this... Be safe, rather than sorry.
Just my two cents.
