Wife wants me out of the house, divorce

My wife wants a divorce and for me to leave. We have 4 teens. I pay all the bills and the mortgage, I don’t drink, am not abusive nor have I had an affair or porn addiction.

She travels with her job as a pilot and is away for two or three nights a week in the US. This has been going on now 15 years. She won’t leave her job and chooses this US pattern. I’m sure some of you will chime in that she’s having an affair for which I have seen no evidence.

I am a home worker and am with the children 24 x 7 all year, every year.

While her salary is good I earn 3 times what she earns.

I feel aggrieved about her aggressive approach and will petition for her to leave our house as I feel the traditional roles are reversed here.

Do the courts automatically assume the mother should stay in the family home? Given her job could I possibly win my case?

No, this is the older thread. He's probably just after stirring us up.

This.

If OP is genuine then he either enjoys getting a reaction or he changes narratives and stories to paint himself in different lights.

It is quite odd and I have a feeling it is more of a canvassing exercise to see if MN is as "anti men" as we are accused of being.
