I have 1 one year old and have told my husband that I want to get divorced. He is being immature about the process and is just trying to make everything difficult. Sometimes he says he will move out, then he says the baby and I should, sometimes he says he wants custody when the real reason im leaving is his lack of interest amd resppnsibility toward our family. I can tell he is hurt and is upset that i dont love him anymore and want to get everything ready to make the exit easy. How do I start?

Just curious- what kind of custody arrangement do you want? Based on that, start collecting as much evidence as possible. Divorce can get ugly fast. Stay in the marital residence if you can; things may drag on and you wouldn’t want to be stuck without all your stuff. Hire the best damm divorce attorney in town. This is a must

I’ve been in your shoes, to the T.
What I did: i saved enough money so I could leave him. At the time I made almost no money, and he was emotionally abusive towards the end (because i wanted to leave), so i just wanted to get out of there with my 1yo and be at peace.

Once i saved enough money, i rented an apt and moved out. Things were shaky for a while but I had full custody and he didn’t care to battle me in court so it worked out.

My case is a bit extremist and i wouldn’t recommend this, but I’d talk to a lawyer to begin with and see what your options are.
