    I don't know the chap, and he might be really honest, BUT if he is a solicitor, he knows about things like divorce, and there is just a chance that he might be making sure he is alright first, by putting his affairs in order while pulling the wool over your eyes. Get some independent advice before you do anything - that would be my advice. Sorry to sound cynical, its just that I have a few friends who have been done over by 'friendly' separations.

    You have your kids to think about as well as yourself!

    I hope you have got good friends and family to support you through this.

    God bless!!!
    :hello: :wave: please play nicely children !

    If he is a solicitor he must know he can't just walk away from his responsibilities, what you need is the best family lawyer in your area, not something I would normally recommend this soon but if he is a practicing solicitor either he or one of his colleagues will have all the latest info and you need to get yourself clued up.

    You won't believe me now but the best revenge is to live well and you owe it to yourself first and your children second to rebuild your life without him and make it better.

    Good luck and remember you are a strong woman you are better off without him!
