Came over to say, hello, thanks for posting in my thread and got drawn into your saga.
One thing stands out. Your sig: "You move out, or I will file for D" 8/14/14. Manipulation and divorce attack 101. Go back to DR and look over some of the items on protecting yourself. A common theme around here (that you seem to have heard Loud and Clear) is Don't Leave Your Home. It's there for good reason.
RockJC has taken a hard line and I don't necessarily disagree with him. If you can discuss an uncontested divorce w/ your W it might be best for you AND your children. Lawyers don't deserve any of our money (or as little as possible.) So maybe show cooperation with the mechanics of the D while GAL'g like crazy? That's my current plan, since my W filed on Friday. Then, maybe, if a year down the road she still looks at me with a bit o' love I can try to rekindle.
I'll do a little mind-reading for you. Your W doesn't want to file for any number of reasons, but one thing is certain. If she does, she will be the petitioner, and the kids will know someday. If you leave before she petitions, she can tell the kids anything she wants to about "why" - even if it is 10 years from now.
I AM NOT A LAWYER ALERT. While Texas doesn't really care much about who is in the right, they do get serious about spousal support. So look into it for your sitch. (I have been married over ten years. The amount my spouse is entitled to is more than Child Support for 2 kids. For 5 years. ASTOUNDING! But she doesn't want it, hence, uncontested.)
