Hello all,
Here is my situation. I am a stay at home parent. We have 3 children ages 2,3 and 12. My wife and I have been married for 12 years. Recently, my wife started a new job this past summer and ever since, we have been drifting apart. She started coming home later and later. At first I thought it was because she has more responsibilities and such. But that wasn't the case, entirely. She had made several new friends and it seemed each night there was always an excuse. I am at home with the kids from sun up to sundown and she is nowhere to be found. Well, I decided to ask her one day if she missed me and the kids and that is when it hit the fan.
She told she didn't know if she wanted to be married to me anymore and I was just blown away. The more we talked the more we argued. I have tried to be more understanding, but it is just not getting any better. We ended up having the "what if" talk concerning our children and what would happen if we divorced.
She said that we would share the kids 50/50 and that she would pay alimony and child support since I was the stay at home parent. This is kinda the opposite of most relationships. My life has pretty much been raising the kids over the years.
Six years ago we moved to a new state for her career. If we divorce, I would like to move back to the state where both of our families live. I really have nothing where I am currently residing. I would like to move back closer to home for the family support and such. I know she has no desire to move and I am wondering if I have any options? She has her new friends, which I think is related in some way, to our possible seperation. It is just a guess though. She doesn't tell me much. Do I have any options regarding taking my kids and moving back home? I have a feeling that I don't simply for the fact regarding the 50/50 split of our children if we do divorce. I dont know how this will effect the kids, my kids are very attached to me, at least the two little ones, I cannot move without them locking on to me. Can anyone offer some advice or suggestions to this matter? Sorry for the babble, this is just kind of pooring out as I type. Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to read my post.
