What happens now?

I’ve decide its time to separate.

The final straw was being told to ignore a call from nursery to say dc is unwell, or if I answered look after him by myself because he’s too busy, even though we were both wfh. I stick up for myself and I’m told I’m ruining their lives. But its been years of this sort of thing - putting himself first.

So this is it. But what happens now. I want to stay in the house with dc. I could potentially buy him out. I don’t imagine he’ll leave voluntarily though.

Anyone able to advise on what will happen now. I’m making an appointment with a solicitor. How long will a divorce take? Do I have to wait until then to get where we will live and how we will split care of dc?

TIA

Sorry it has come to this point. In my experience, separation was quick but the actual divorce took 3 years. We were in full agreement, but I needed two years to get myself organised, sell the family home etc.

Speak to your solicitor as every case is different and they have to take many factors into account
