Hello, I am not too sure where to post this thread. I am a father of 3 ages 7,3, and 6 months. I am unmarried but have lived with the mother of my children for 9 years. Recently she has expressed to me that she is unhappy with her life and wants a break from it. She isn't sure if she wants the kids, and has stated several times that she is suicidal. We have been having problems for a VERY long time, and I have always just "toughed" it out for my kids and because I always felt I had to take care of her...lately she only wants to be single and go out...she works as much over time as she possibly can and rarely sees our kids. She avoids them as much as she can. I have come to the very hard decision that I cannot live this way any longer and it is unfair to my kids. My question is, do I have the right to move out with them? I am afraid to leave them alone with her, scared of where she will leave them or if she will hurt herself. I just need to know how to get started. I honestly don't think she will fight me on this, I think she may just leave alone. but i would like to get things done legal as soon as possible. Thankyou in advance
