I’ve posted a few times before over the past year. I finally feel like I’m at the brink of asking DH to leave. Long story short we don’t like each other any more, most conversations are about kids logistics or arguing. He is EA and often swears at me (been called a c* many many times), threatens to “smash the house up”, threatens to take the kids to his mums 2hrs away. I’ve now seen a solicitor and he feels I have a very strong case to divorce for unreasonable behaviour and thinks I’ll be able to prove I’m the primary carer and get residency for the kids. House is in my sole name anyway as DH has a rubbish credit history. Weekends are hell as we are avoiding each other essentially but living in the same house. I want to split but don’t see why me and the kids (5 and 9mths) should move out. I know he’s entitled to half the assets but my solicitor assured me that would be when my youngest is out of full time education.
How do I get him to move out? Previously I’ve suggested a trial separation and he’s flatly refused. Not because he wants to make it work with me but because he knows how good he has it living in my house. We bumble along like colleagues and then have ridiculous arguments which turn nasty. I need to get the toxic atmosphere sorted at home for the kids.
