1. Delete this thread and any online threads about the divorce
2. Divorces are 80% emotion and 20 % business, the sooner you get past the emotion and down to business, the quicker it resolves.
3. The relationship between and a d you wife is like a bell curve, it will be at its worst when you discuss custody.
4. Anything obtained or paid for with marital assets is dividable.
5. Everything is negotiable.. everything.

Any mention of it via your social media stuff will also be found and used against you.

Divorce in Michigan is "no fault", the way it was explained to me. Most of the assets and settlement agreements are hashed out in mediation, so the cases almost never go to trial.

Sorry to hear this and yes opposite shifts does cause "a big gap" in your relationship. I speak from experience. I worked 3rds when my oldest son was still in diapers and my husband worked days in a group home with other female employees. Well he was "venting to one of them" and next thing ya know she feels sorry for him and then they bumped uglies and wasn't at all subtle about it. I was devastated, he was my highschool sweetheart. I am sorry. I know it doesn't mean much rightnow but in the future someone will just capture your heart again. Best of luck to you!

I haven't mentioned it on social media. I have mentioned it here and on another forum.

While I certainly feel like this is mostly her fault, I have not said anything untrue or mean spirited, just gave examples of the things that pushed me to this point. We are basically just co-parents right now and have been for a while. Any attempt by me to rekindle a romantic relationship is met with a cold shoulder. It's just dead, she has checked out on our relationship. I think the only reason will fight this is because she realizes that this should go down as joint custody of the children and she doesn't want to "lose them." We are both very involved, loving and caring parents. She cannot picture the kids not being there with her 3-4 days a week and has only continued to go through the motions of marriage because she doesn't want to be apart from the kids.

I have attempted to "get down to business" with her in discussion the potential custody arrangements and what to do with the house and she has told me she isn't prepared to have the conversation. I think she will continue to stall and put this off for as long as possible

I think a lot of couples stay together like you & your wife Mike until
the children are of age, "grown up". Not saying you should, not saying
its for everyone, but many times it is the best overall solution for a
otherwise "bad situation". That is of course, if the couple can reasonably
get along.

I wish you & your family the best.
