Lets see: agree that the marriage is over. CHECK! Tell the kid(s) CHECK! Move out CHECK!
Find a lawyer. Do you even know what kind of divorce you want? Are you going balls to the walls, take no prisoners,
adversarial divorce, and end up in divorce court with a posse of expensive suits on both sides? Are you going to try
mediation, where you both sit down to talk about it with a third party and try to come up with a solution the courts will like? Or will you go for a
collaborative divorce, trusting your partner completely, and have no courts involved?
And if you cant afford a lawyer, dont despair.
