How important is it for you to stay? What will happen if you don't? Could you rent somewhere and stay there at weekends and stay at home in the week when he's at work? <br /><br />Also, your daughter will bounce back. It's hard as a parent to see them hurting, but will it be better for her interests in the long run for you to stay at home? Is there anyone your daughter can talk to to help her through this difficult time? School nurse?

Not having him in your face all the time at home is a great relief. Having your own space, however humble it may be, to think things through and be with the kids (at least some of the time) without his manipulative tactics going on would make you feel stronger. That has to be balanced against the fact that it is more difficult to keep an eye on what he is up to. <br /><br />And remember to take with you straight away any objects that really matter, regardless of value. They go into the pot for sharing out moneywise but at least if you have them he can't steal or destroy them. A lot of possessions can be replaced as they are just things, but he probably knows which bits and pieces you cherish the most.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-79732723806631811652010-02-02T10:11:02.970+00:002010-02-02T10:11:02.970+00:00Oh sweetie I feel for you I really do.

It is all very well a solicitor telling you to stay put, but faced with sorrow, tension and continual angst - well, you are doing the right thing.<br /><br />What a shame that it will take about a year to get the financial side sorted out. Is it wrong of me to suggest that Tall Girl sits down with her father and talks things through? There might be gasps of horror at this suggestion - I don't know about these sorts of things. I'm just trying to think of a way to appeal to the better side of him to be a bit more generous with the settlement.French Fancy...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04941577892849157015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-45201518602589424642010-02-02T10:03:42.357+00:002010-02-02T10:03:42.357+00:00I agree with Steve.

If a decision can't be reached THEN go house hunting (although there is no harm in finding out all you need to know in the meantime) and make sure you say in front of your mediator that if a settlement can't be reached then you have no choice but to move out. If it goes to court then you have documented evidence of your decision to move and why you did it! I know it's very tempting to get out right now but try and hang in there a bit longer....at least till you know exactly where you stand!!<br /><br />C xCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12327016337976942530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-67622843502544870002010-02-02T09:18:51.680+00:002010-02-02T09:18:51.680+00:00Surprise surprise, he's pushing his luck with ...Surprise surprise, he's pushing his luck with the finances as well, just to make your life even more difficult. I guess the emotional well-being of you and the children is pretty important so moving out may be unavoidable, but I hope this won't jeopardise your stake in the house and your financial share of it, particularly if living separately is going to be so expensive.<br /><br />I really hope you can work out a financial solution through mediation rather than yet another distressing delay while the court mulls it all over.nickhttp://nickhereandnow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-90048682619734471822010-02-02T08:22:33.614+00:002010-02-02T08:22:33.614+00:00Happy days to you .
