Breadwinner > 10 yrs (two kids). Own a house (jointly with my wife) with 30% mortgage that needs to be paid for the next 20 yrs.
My wife asks me to move out while she keeps the house and kids. I am telling her that child custody and property settlement should be agreed first before separation. But, she doesn’t want to do that now. She wants to keep the house (also wants me to keep paying the debts), and wants to keep using my credit card for living cost and kids’ education) after separation.
She says “you move out first, and then you can claim the property entitlement after a few years”. Would a separation be possible without any legal agreement? If I move out without any legal agreement, it seems that I abandon the kids and property, which is far from the true. Any legal advice would be appreciated.
