Guys, guys... Why are you moving out of the family home when it's your wives who want to split? Have you checked with an attorney that it is certain the cheating S will get the home? Why not stay in the home and file for full custody, if the WAW is showing little interest in the children for a full year?
H kept saying that his ex was a good mother (at least she's *that*). She was not, she was/is mentally ill and has damaged their children severely through her abuse. I think he felt it would just be too harsh to say she was a lousy mother and should not have custody. His children have paid a high price for this.
