1) My wife wants to separate, am I disadvantaged to leave my wife and kids aged 11, 8 in Marital home (NSW) due to I cant foresee us living amicably and dont want to reconnect in the years time frame. We have no mortgage so if I go and rent somewhere is that off my own back ie not considered in child support or final$ negotiations, i am amicable happy to pay her bills and kids have a roof over there head for a year etc. I cant foresee doing a house share I just want to have a place for me and the kids asap, even considered just arranging it and walking out the door, any experiences / advice?? Head space is all over the place right now.
2) If amicable what agencies have people used or just via NSW family law, do I pay child support from separation date and then move my pay in a single account, burning question has anyone had to provide bank statements on amicable avenue, and how many years. I expect she has a stash account but not to concerned or if amicable bank statements not always subpoenaed etc
3) Finally has anyone just gone through lawyer and paid $50k etc so they sort out the negotiations etc I just dont have any energy and the money paid may be worth it in my scenario, anyways to approach my wife stating my lawyer is acting on my behalf so its not looking like im starting a battle !!!! If my wife is working will she get legal aid to pay for her lawyer?
