I have weeks to prepare for that day when I tell him. It probably won't happen until sometime after August 2nd.

I haven't thought this through thoroughly. I will have to think on it more and how best to present it to him. But I think somewhere outside the apartment may be best, and somewhere more public.

He will contest my wanting to get my name off his car lease. It's going to be a huge pain in the butt for him to accomplish, and may even require a new down payment, which he cannot afford. The options available most likely require another co-signer. He won't want to do this. but I am going to get it included in the separation agreement and a judge will probably rule in my favor. He could also contest the divorce itself.
