Where do I stand regarding the house?

I am on the verge of separating from my H. I am worried that when I tell him that I do not want to be with him anymore he will react very badly to it and will refuse the leave the house (he has previously warned me that he would do this). We have two DCs and I work full time and he chooses to work part time (and picks up our DS from school). However I will be seeking full custody. My worry is that if he refuses to leave, where do I stand if I leave with our two DCs? This would be horrible because they would have to leave everything behind and suffer more disruption than if he went. But I don't think we could physically stay together and wait to sell the house etc.

Can anyone help?

The advice is always for both to stay in the family home until a settlement is negotiated unless a DV situation. Before you say anything, I think you need to consult a solicitor. For example, if he is the primary carer, what are the chances he would get custody? You need proper legal advice before you act.
