Been working towards an amicable divorce for a while now. Although I'm sure it will turn real nasty as soon as I actually split. Told my wife I want to separate and can't take her abuse towards me and the kids any longer. She has of course been on her best behavior since then. She's not actually apologetic mind you - she's just afraid of losing me and being ashamed of divorce. So I'm doing grey/yellow rock and just trying to kick ass as a dad for the summer and of course workingfull time. No sex. Now comes the real kicker - she just got terminated from her job today for legitimate reasons. Of course she takes no blame for it and is being very needy emotionally today. She already has another job lined up to start in September but that's 2 months away.
My question for this group is- stick it out 2 months to file and she has income again? Or keep moving towards divorce and potentially get hit with alimony and CS? I assume we will do 50/50 and we are both in solid income careers. We are in CA- and yes I WILL be talking to my lawyer. Also just want to give a shout out to this group - it has been a great asset and resource for information, shared wisdom, grieving, and support for us dudes.
