I own my home; with help from the bank.  I am the person on the title.  Carol is not.  I could try to force her to move.  But that would be difficult.  The other alternative is to move out.

So what would happen if I moved out?

Pros
I wouldn't have to deal with Carol's negative attitude

I could date with a lot less complications

On the nights I did not have the kids, I could work late, do other things


Cons
It's my house.  Would I charge Carol rent?  I guess I could deed it to her, but she could not afford the mortage Maybe a creative divorce lawyer could figure this out.

Let's say I gave here $2200 a month.  She could not pay the mortage with that.  Or come close.  If I just paid the mortgage and utilities how could I afford anything decent for myself. 

I would miss the kids when I was not there.  And God only knows how much junk food they'd eat and tv they'd watch if I wasn't there!

What about Max?  Could I handle all three in a 2 BR apt?

My son spends 5 nights out of every 14 with me, plus every other Monday for 4 hours or so.  I take him to Occupational Therapy and medical appts outside my time too.  I probably spend more time with him than my daughters, as I am his Cub Scout Leader too.  This makes me feel guilty.  I know my girls resent the time I spend with Max.  I get home later when Max is not there-- they notice.  But their mother is home and can interact with them.  Since I do not live with Max's mother, his care is on me.  I want to be a better Dad, but I need to make money and keep employed. Max and I also have some activities like Golf that we do together.  But the girls and I have nothing.

At night

I really do not like watching television shows or movies alone. I find it depressing.  I want someone to talk to, to interact with.  I can read by myself.. and if I am LUCKY, find someone to discuss it with later. Mostly I just work. That gets old.

Anxiety.  My daughter is anxious and has a short fuse.  Her mother is worried.  But I think my daughter gets it from her.  The Mom thinks her problem stems from dyslexia.   But it may be more. Or maybe its just adolescence.
