agony, divorce is oh so hard. Good for you to stand your ground and make very sure your husband understood there was no hope for reconciliation. Clear communication is key and you are doing a good job.

Car--it is community property as your lawyer probably explained. He can't take it away.

Health Insurance--sign up at your job so you have independent coverage. (I remember in another thread you said you had this option, which will really be helpful.)

Husband moving out--ask your lawyer if there is anything that can be done to make this happen more quickly. I agree, another 2 months would be so stressful.

Sleeping separately--absolutely, do it! Even if you have to sleep on the couch, it is better than sharing a bed with someone you are determined to leave. The fact that your husband asked you to sleep in another room is a good sign to me--shows he is starting to separate and accept that you will not be together forever.

War--if at all possible, resist the impulse to wage a war with your husband. It only makes the divorce harder. Be firm, but civil, and consult with your divorce attorney when needed.

Good luck.
