Re: Husband has a girlfriend.... what now?

Thank you Kaestu. He would not be willing to ruin his credit, and we will both want top dollar for our home when it is sold. He is planning to inherit about $150,000 from his father within the next 6 months and at that time says he is going to pay off the house so we don't have a mortgage. He talks long term like he expects to live here for the rest of his life.
He is a funds manager (money-budget guy) by trade and will try to beat me out of every dime that he can possibly get away with. He will fight tooth and nail for all property, and then make my life as difficult as possible during and after the divorce. There will be vengence, and I will need a protective order.
I must find the money to hire a good attorney, and I don't want to obligate myself on a credit card.
But, the first step is to get to that point where I can move out and accept a life without my things - just accept that he will be living in our nice home, and I might be living in an apartment with roaches for a while.
I must plan as if the courts will make me pay half the house payment until it sells.
It's the Fourth of July and he and the other woman are in a nice hotel on Time Square and planning to watch the fireworks on the harbor tonight. Oh poor, pitiful me... I should be moving out while he is gone rather than grumbling about the miserable existance I will have to endure on my own. Thank you again for your comments. I still have 9 days before he returns.
