I have 2 weeks to get my stuff together.

Well, hubby informed me that I have two weeks to get things in order. I have to leave since I can't afford the house and property. I am at the present, a stay at home mother. It has been that way for the past 9 years. Thirteen years of marriage and I am left with 3 beautiful children, a 1996 dodge caravan, $720.00 a month to live on, and no home. (sigh)
I'm scared.

Wow. What about financial support, alimony? He owes you a whole lot more, but at the least that. Are the children staying with you? Have you talked to a lawyer? If not, find one and talk to him/her. Make sure you find your own though, not your H's.
My mother (divorced) always told me that her marriage didn't work, but she had four children she would never trade. Remember that too -- you have 3 wonderful and beautiful children.
I am thinking about you and remember to take care of yourself. (I am having trouble with this part, it's easier said than done!)

YOU CAN DO IT!!!! I was divorced after 19 years, 15 yrs as SAHM. I got a good job and now take care of myself and my kiddos very well despite all the trouble my ex has put me through.
Keep your head up and remember "THINGS (like homes and cars and bank accounts) don't matter...PEOPLE do!!!!
See an attorney before you leave, don't agree to anything without legal advice...you may be surprised to learn that you may be able to stay in the home, at least temporarily.
When I get down about kid worry or financial stress, I remember to TREASURE MY FREEDOM!
I'm sending positive thoughts and prayers to you, jennhauck!

Know your rights.... I really don't think he can throw you out of the marital home with 3 kids and if he does.... may he rot in hell. lol.....
I really agree that you should get legal advice. I don't think he can do that....
Good luck and try to stay strong.

Call a lawyer or two or three and get some advice. Search online for your rights. I know in my state (Illinois) until the divorce is final, you cannot kick a spouse out of the home unless you prove abuse. That is a little unfortunate for me because I'm stuck with my stbx for a while yet...

please do not move out of the home with out seeing a lawyer. In Ontario (where I live) the children must be provided for, and I didn't have to move out or sell my house OR BUY MY EX OUT as long as my child was living with me. Once you move out you lose that right. Please please see a lawyer before you leave.
