Divorce Support Forums: Husband Filed For Divorce

Thanks for all the information. I actually talked to my lawyer today and he said that if I am too miserable we can file a motion to have my husband leave the house but it sounds so combative and harsh. I feel awful about the whole situation.

My husband today again through email told me he thinks he is better with our son on the day to day stuff and therefore he thinks he has a good chance a full custody. I don't know what he is talking about. I work full time and so does he so we both try our best with our schedules to be the best parents we can but it just amazes me that he wants sole custody. Like I said, I'm not a bad parent, I work, I make ok money, I spend as much time as with my son while trying to work full time.

My lawyer's advice to me today was that if I really wanted to get him out I'd have to file a motion w/ the court and then a judge would decide if he should vacate our house. To me that just sounds so harsh but I am thinking about it. However, our mortgage payment alone is 2,100 a month and I don't know if I could swing that alone on top of all the other bills we have.

Man, divorce is nasty. It's so bad. I never thought about how bad it can get. I never wanted one.

I just feel bullied and under pressure right now. I'm not sure what to do. I don't want to loose my son that's the main concern. I am willing to go 50/50 custody but he seems convinced he can get sole custody --- what a jerk.
