NO! NO! NO! Do not give up your share of the house, finances, and especially rights to the kids. No way would I settle for less than 50/50 with the kids, or what I'm entitled to financially.
BL42,
i have no intention of losing kids or finances. Last year we signed a separation agreement and I agreed to be bought out but she had to get a better job so she could refinance the house. Before the ink was even dry she wanted to break the agreement because she had secretly met someone. So now I will be buying her out and she will move in with OM. She'll have 50/50 custody though I'll have slightly more than 50% because they'll be with me Mon to Fri evening and then we'll split the holidays.
Her opinion was that I should be the one to move out (with nothing!) and she should keep the house, raise the kids and keep pretty much everything. I told her I would never move out so another man could move in and take my place. She even told me I could have the kids every other weekend! How generous of her!
