Just that really. History of porn and cam sites. I've been worrying and researching how to make this easy for the children, how to be fair, looking at updating their furniture in their bedrooms, all second hand stuff, and he is doing this. What a complete twat. He can't even wait until he's left ffs.
He is dragging his feet and hasn't even seen s solicitor yet, how the hell do I get him out? There is an anniversary card in the hall, so his mum clearly doesn't know. I need to play hardball, but don't know how.
Any wisdom or positive similar stories out there?

No advice but sympathy.
My XH took 4 months to tell his mum.
Excruciating every time I saw her.
He was forced to tell her when I moved out and I pointed out that she couldn't hear it from her grandchild.
Of course, face like she was chewing a wasp when I saw her next day - in my new home! - that she hadnt been told. Tried to turn it on me and I said straight "it was ridiculous, I hated it, I told him to tell you but he is your son so you have to see it was down to him" (and, you fucking old witch, you brought him up, so if we're casting blame here...)
He was also on AW pre and post split, whilst I was ordering "how to tell your children". I feel for you.
Highlight was probably coming home from a weekend away to discover all child shoes and a photo had been shoved in a bag "tidying up" - he had a home visit from a prostitute then 
Like she cared he was cheating
Hope you get shot of him soon!

Ellisandra, did it work out ok in the end? Did he become a better part time parent after the split? Jane you met someone else? We're your kids ok?
Sorry, needing some reassurance

You poor thing 
It's all grand.
I got shot of someone who cheated on me but that aside was a lazy uninvolved parent with little similar interests.
I'm now 4 years on, engaged to a man who is brilliantly involved with him own kids (he's a widower so full time) great with mine, who is a much better fit for me. And thinks the XH is crazy for preferring a prostitute!
As for the XH - came up smelling of roses, new girlfriend just moved in who does all the washing, ironing, childcare... and who knows he's cheated on her too, but puts up with it 
but my kid likes her, so... good really. Irritates me that the lazy shit has it good.
But - my child has two happy parents and though of course she'd rather not have two homes, split parents - she likes both the steps a lot, and is happy. Split aged 5.
There's a line in Frozen, Let It Go: the fears that once contained me, can't get to me at all. It was like that. Once I'd made the scary leap, nothing difficult was impossible, and life is better for both me and my child now.
Good luck!!!

Unfortunately then you can't force him out as he has as much right to be there as you until the financial services and divorce are finalised.
