Who Should Go?

Illinois

My husband and I have come to the agreement that we need to separate for awhile. He feels that since it is me that needs the space, that I should be the one to leave the house. We have two teenage children and one adult child out of the house. My question is....Is it frowned on when the mother temporarily leaves the house without the children? Could that be used against me?

It would set a precendent for him to receive primary custody of the children.

But he's got a point. If you're the one who wants a physical separation, why should HE be penalized for it by having to move out and losing a possible advantage wrt custody?
