I think I'm ready to file

Lisa004, thank you for responding to my post. I have realized lately that I've been emotionally and physically divorced from him for awhile now. You are right, it's a piece of paper and when I think that piece of paper will help me enforce boundaries with him, that's when I will use it.

I have been preparing myself to cut ties with him. I went back to college, renewed my professional license, and have been waiting to file until I have a full-time job. I want to be ready to pay 100% of the bills and childcare. Thank you for reminding me that I have been doing the right things here.

I'm sorry for your situation. Good for you for having the strength to put yourself in a better place and being a person your children can look up to. God bless.

Another thing is once you are divorced you will have to claim yourself as single. Then you are taxed heavily.
