I really dont know what rights you have but are you wanting to keep the kids with you? Does he want to keep the house and the kids? My husband also told me he wants a divorce and I feel totally abandoned by him. We havent told my son (his stepson) yet what's going on but I also feel like he's not only abandoning me but our son as well even though he says he wants to keep in touch with us. Is there any hope for reconsiliation between you & hubby?
