He wants to sell the house and I don't want to uproot my children and move. I had heard that he has to provide us with a place to live or at least pay half of the house payment in addition to his child support that he will have to pay.

No he doesn't have to give you the house. Do you work? You can buy half of the profits of selling the house or you can buy him off the title by a financial setlement.
If you don;t work you can get alimiony for a little while (normally a year) but after that you are on your own. If you cannot affort living ibn your house, you will have to move weather you like it or not because he doesn;t have the responsabilities to sustain you anymore, just the kids.
You have the upper hand since is him that wants a divorce. You can ask and get a lot if he is really desperate to divorce you. I recommend for you to have legal advice. Hire a lawyer and make him pay for it too, but hear say is no form of legal; representation and if you donl;t want to be screwed over and have no idea of how to bargain and what yoru entitlements and resposabilities are you can be stripped off everything and then yiou cannot complain. Also, you cannot show up in court asking for ridiculous things, such as, him paying for your bills foerevr after the divorce, just like you are doing now, You will be the laugh of the courtroom.
Please, hire a reputable attorney and make educated decisions.
Good luck

Different laws for different states may affect how he pays. If he has not committed domestic violence against you, he has just as much right to the house as you. He also has the right to put the house on the market, but the proceeds will be split 50/50 between the both of you. There are so many variables, each case is different. In my case, my ex wife left me for her boss. She wanted to stay in the house and have me leave to fend for myself. I have not even committed a traffic offense since we married twenty years ago, so, the only way that she could get me out of the house, legally, was to provoke me, and she tried, but I was raised properly and it did not work. She reaped what she sown because she ended up pregnant from her boss and had to marry him, a few months after our divorce. She is starting all over with kids at the age of 38. She stated things to me, but I read the laws regarding my rights and it was a good thing I did. Until the divorce papers are filed, it is as if you are still married. He does not have to provide anything and that is a grounds for divorce. You need a good lawyer and ask questions. Do not assume anything. Good Luck!

i imagine you realize what to do yet are seeking for for confirmation. It sounds like he's down on his success and particular lacking the youngsters and per chance you. except you're waiting to help him back and get him back on his feet, keep him at a distance. If he went this a ways downhill formerly contacting you, then you truthfully can effectively assume that acquiring back with you became not his first selection. Be very careful. i'd say, enable him %. himself up and develop into financially good formerly even thinking getting back mutually. If he nevertheless needs then you definitely, you could be a touch extra confident that this is you he needs and in no way very few money to get out of a bind. placed it to him bluntly. you at the on the spot are not Obama and there is not any bailout coming. tell him to do what he desires to do to come again on his feet, and then take it from there.

He should have to provide some child support and possibly alimony depending on the state you live in. However, i dont think it says anywhere that you should be a leach and make him support you. Get a job, buy his equity out in the house and take care of the kids. They belong to both of you, not just him. Dont expect him to be your support system forever.

I agree different laws for different states. See a lawyer. I believe that since he wants to sell the house that he would have to give you part of the sell money. In any case, get a lawyer asap.

it depends, if you have worked then he might not have to pay any spousal support, or if you have been married less than 5 years . if you havent worked in the marriage you might get it. tell him you arent signing or selling anything til your lawyers meet and if he does you will bring it to the courts attention and get half because you are entitled to half
