    Just drop her stuff and see if she'll let it go.

    Do you think she has financial designs on the house ? It's hard to stay focused when you are upset but try to stay polite and respectful.

    Of course she is entitled to half of everything, why wouldn't she be?

    Hi Fruitshot,

    I would say firstly, I know it is going to be hard especially with cheating and everything so raw, but try to keep the emotion out of it and definitely don't think about involving your kids in making statements against her. It will get messier.
    Do your best to be practical. Firstly she is entitled to half, but one or either of you buying each other out as soon as possible, is a good way to get things moving amicably and cutting ties.
    How old are your children? That is important as the property is considered family residence until they leave college. Do try to keep things amicable as best you can, think of the longer picture

    one other thing,,,your wife leaves the family home ,mouths about how bad you are,,and is making you out to be a monster,,,has she ever before got the police or social workers involved,,,if you done this it would be slander,,,so how does it be ok for the wife to do and say what she wants and the husband can say or do nothing,,,,how long are you married,,,,

    Ok the fact the are grown up makes things easier legally. If you are happy to get her out of your life 50/50 is as good as it gets. Definitely try to get in contact with Mediation and support services. The Useful Links thread stickied in this forum gives loads of information. Best of luck, just remember you might need to make some small financial concessions, in reality 50/50 is a little subjective, but think of the bigger picture and take the higher road.

    Fruitshot, organise a counsellor for yourself, there is too much going on at the moment in your situation. There is a lot of bitterness here on your side that is going to make the legal separation very messy. Looks like you both want to hurt and punish each other.
    I had a 'fairly' amicable separation and divorce.

    Hi Fruitshot,

    I don't believe that anyone should be treated better just because of their gender. Put that aside, you are entitled to get a fair agreement, but at the moment so much is up in the air. Just take one day at a time and don't make any big decisions till the dust settles. I'm not sure about the guardianship of your grandson, as you are married I don't think you can do that independently of your wife, anyway get some good legal advise and cooperate as much as possible with your wife, hard as that will be, it will make the separation easier and get her out of your hair quicker.. Good luck.
