After many years of living in limbo I have sadly decided to separate from my husband. Reasons are not loving him any more and having absolutely nothing in common anymore with him (other than the DC). We have three DC: DD who's 10 and five month old twins. DH has been always ignoring the problems in our marriage and brushing issues under the carpet so it will be me who will need to move out if a separation is to happen. He has already said in the past that we would be doing 50/50 split on the DC's residency (he's an excellent dad and extremely hands on so I'm confident this can work ok).
Anyway, DD is currently preparing for her 11+ tests next Sept and I'm not sure when would be the best time for me to move out and as a result inflict all that upheaval and disruption in her life. Should I wait until after the exams in Sept so she can do better (there's currently no animosity at home with DH just indifference at this stage) as state secundary schools are crappy around here, or should I bite the bullet and just move out?
Also, we will need to sell the family home, I might have to wait until then anyway as currently on maternity leave with no income whatsoever and will only be returning to work after the summer...
Thank you
