Quote: Might that include moving 200+ miles to follow her to law school?
Honest answer? No. I wouldn't move 200+ miles for her, not right now. I am a partner in a successful practice that is not available where she is, my kids are here, and my wife is a WAW that doesn't even know if she loves me. So no, as things stand now I wouldn't even entertain the possibility of chasing her where she goes. Now if she came back, committed to the marriage, and got back to a loving relationship that could be a possibility. But at this point it seems like the options are between my kids that want to be with me and my wife that doesn't want to be. It's a no brainer for me. Seem callous? I don't think so....part of GAL is not giving up on the one you have for your WAW's benefit.
Quote: would you be willing to shed the house (selling it) after you give her half of equity to her
That's no problem. I would sell the house and split the equity...even if I don't follow her to where she's going. Of course, that's partly for my benefit. It's huge and there is just me and part of the time my kids. I don't need this much house. Splitting the equity is fair.
