So what are you expecting to gain from being divorced? What do you expect it to change?

I think going to see a lawyer is a great idea; however. I remember being terrified of what I thought divorce would mean; me alone in a dark lit apartment, while my ex and the AP were in my house with the kids. But I learned about what the financial and custodial split would be and it made me more confident and less desperate to avoid the 'worst case scenario'. As Cadet says, knowledge is power, and you can never arm yourself with too much knowledge.

But please consider my questions above. What would be different if you were DIVORCED right now? Are there other ways you could achieve a similar outcome?
