JR-- You said your S10 is already feeling anxious. I didn't think you already had a talk w/ your kids about the impending divorce. Did you? If so, how did you do it? How did it go? Or maybe your kids just gather/sense what's going on, w/o you guys having had an explicit talk? This is the part I dread the most. Heartbreak. I do believe they will be able to cope, but I think it will weigh on them heavily for a while.
Is anything holding up your W from filing? I presume that, since she's a lawyer, she's comfortable w/ all the logistics of it all. Further, I presume she'd have no trouble w/ the logistics of being a divorced Mom. Do you think she'll have any difficulty running a house by herself?
