We have 4 special needs children adopted through foster care. I am the primary caregiver, and he works full-time. We've been married for almost 7 years; the kids are 3, 2, 1, & 10 months. For most of our relationship my husband has been verbally and emotionally abusive, and avoids spending time with me or the kids. Now that I want a divorce and plan to reestablish a relationship with an old boyfriend, he wants to keep 2 of the kids and the house and send me packing with nothing but my clothes and the 2 kids' adoption subsidies (1143/mo). I would still come over and take care of the kids while he was working. Is this a stupid thing for me to agree to? I don't want to fight for months in court, but I don't want to split the kids up and give 2 a part-time mommy! Would a judge agree?
