Anyone can leave/divorce anyone at any time. You can't stop that. Have you tried to sit down and have a serious discussion with her about whether she'd be willing to try and work through any problems you have, going to marital counseling, etc.? Yes, she can leave, force you to leave, and it can BECOME adversarial. If she's dead set on it and won't try to work it out, then you need an ATTORNEY yesterday, not an agreement that fast. Signing anything in haste will be your downfall. You need to argue for joint custody. Over 15 years, she MAY get some type of alimony. Even though she's now working, since its minimal, she may still get something. She would DEFINATELY get CS, even if you get joint. But she'd get less than she would if she had full custody. Don't just go in thinking YOU can't get things and let her talk you into signing anything away.
