So yesterday, another failed attempt to talk to him about his plan...He basically said that he is moving out and when he does will be when I find out...This coming after the fact that he is deciding to not send our daughter to the school she was assigned to next year. I found this out by a pile of papers he left laying around. That was his form of communication with me. He said no way that she is going to school there. I said you cannot make these decisions without me. She is still my daughter too. I was looking for a new job, because neither one of us will be able to take her to school. Anyway the whole thing was just ugly, he insulted me on the way I pronounced a word, repeatedly...and is just completely impossible to talk to. He replies we will take it up in court and says crap about who will win in court because he has all these people that is on his side. And that the only problem is the dog...he wants to keep her during the day and with me and the kids at night...and it is a tough sell because of her breed.

This sent me into a state of panic...how is this going to work? He is going to come and go as pleases in my house, so he doesn't have any financial responsibility for anyone other than himself...and really what I care about is our kids...my oldest is going off to jr. High and all of this is happening...and my little one is so sweet...this is going to screw them up for sure. I also do not trust him and his motives...is he trying to get child support from me?? So he doesn't have to work anymore. I cannot make it on my own financially with the few bills that he pays. I want to at least keep the house for a couple of reasons, for the stability for the kids and the sitter lives right next door, who comes over extremely early in the morning so we both can work. I have spoken to two different lawyers and a couple of people who have been through a divorce (we are not married though) and all the legal forms everyone has suggested is for married people.

I just don't know what to do at this point.
I just want what is best for the kids.
