My STBX will be moving out middle of October and our house is about to go on the market. We have a 2yr old and a 5 yr old. When do we tell them that he is moving out and about the rest (divorce, new house, etc.)?

It depends on their personalities.

You tell them when you know FOR SURE WHEN one of you is leaving... and exactly where that parent is going.... you pose it as an adventure.... "mommy and daddy need to live in different houses, so THIS is where ______ is going to live... look, how neat!
