Hi all.
Brand new to this forum. I recently initiated a separation from my husband of 15 years. We have three kids, ages 10 and 10 (twins), and a 6 year old.
We have a home (mortgaged, with little built up equity because we've used it to cover life's costs for the past 15 years), and nothing to speak of in savings. We both have life insurance plans and small pension accounts from our employers.
I just have no idea where to start to take care of the 1,000 big and little things that need to be done. I've reached out to a realtor to see what we might expect to get if we sell the house, and will meet with the bank about mortgage breaking penalties and separating joint accounts, etc. But figuring out living arrangements, a separation agreement, all that stuff, i'm lost on. Things are amicable at the moment, but I know that can change.
I also have some questions about more emotional/personal subjects, like how much to share with my husband about a new long distance relationship that was (while not the cause), a trigger for this massive change.
Any sage words about how to start down this road? Or words of caution...what not to do? I'll take whatever you've got.
TIA
