You know your situation better than me. In some aspects of this you don't budge or give in on money and house those are the ones, normally.
Yep. Trying not to budge if possible... Just a tough situation... No legal protection plus all of the emotional turmoil and concern over the impact on the kids.
We do have some legal protection with the kids at least -- we were able to do second-parent adoptions, so we both are legal parents to all three of our kids. This saves us from making the headlines like other same-sex couples where one "parent" really isn't a legal parent and ends up losing all access and contact with the child(ren) they raised from birth.
