State = PA.
My husband has informed me that the only reason he hasn't left me is because of the holidays. So, I expect January to be an awful month at home. I need to know what my rights are as far as marrital assets and the children go. We have two children. We own a home in PA and are joint owners in a vacation home in NJ. I have a good job that will support myself and our children in our current lifestyle. He has not worked on the books for 2 years now and will find it difficult to prove stable income. He also has a drinking problem. If we do move towards divorce, I want the kids and both houses. Am I entitled to these things? I am far more stable in lifestyle than he and can prove that without much effort. I don't feel that he would be capable to care for the children on his own. He drinks too much. That would be a detrimental situation, not to mention the fact that he would not be able to keep either home on his salary. He has also threatened to grab the kids and run off with them. This scares me as well. How can I avoid this situation? I don't know if I should make the first step in divorce, or wait until he does, if he does. Despite it all, I still love him and don't want a divorce. But, I've got to be prepared for the worst and look out for the safety of my children and myself.
