NO! Do not move out. Or, at the very least don't move out without consulting a L and having a separation agreement in place regarding custody and financials.

"You're welcome to move out if you'd like, but I plan to stay in the house."

Your W is on a path to disrupt your kids' lives. Unfortunately if she's determined to go down that path, you can not change that. You have to stand firm for your own best interests and be a rock for the kids.
