Just like title says. I've made the decision to divorce. Feel good about the decision, but don't personally feel great at the moment.

Any advice on transition, specifically with a toddler?

I remember the feeling that day I made the same decision. It's terrifying and liberating all at the same time.

No advice about the kid since I never had any, but welcome to the other side!

Big hugs.

Onward.

Thank you. Liberating is a good way to put it.

Definitely see an atty b4 you tell your WS. In fact I saw 3 different ones and got a lot of very useful advice. My state still has lifetime alimony, children cannot be overnight with girlfriend/boyfriends, and the divorce can be fast when adultery is involved. North Carolina is a state in which BS can sue the OW/OM for loss of consortium.

As far as visitation, include Halloween and July 4 as well as Christmas and NYE for holidays that each parent gets every other year.

Good idea on the visitation stuff. I'm not sure KY has all that, but I'll find out.
