And you have little children. And a dog. Do you move on? Is there an acceptable time period? Are you locked into it for.... years?

Depends what's he's in for and for how long.
I know I would have a short timeframe if he's a loser.

If you are offended by the behavior that put him in jail, leave. If he is a menace to you, your kids or society, leave and start a new life. If he just made a stupid mistake, and you love him and promised to wait, then wait.
What kind of life will waiting be for your children? If you have better alternatives, and his sentence is for a long time, move on.
Was he a good father to your children? Does he have a short sentence.
I think you already know what you want to do. If the love, trust and respect has gone out of the marriage, than what are you waiting for?
Do the right thing.
Good Luck,
C-F

Time is helpful. while you're particular which you're bored stiff and want a divorce (and that i do no longer blame you) then you would besides document now and be divorced quicker and get on alongside with your existence. Why spend one greater day of your existence waiting on a guy who can't be stricken to maintain a typical minimal in many situations occurring of behaviour so he could be with you and his daughter? look for recommendation from a legal expert approximately splitting sources. Edited to characteristic: I purely appeared at your previous question and it says you reside in Florida. the information superhighway tells me which you do no longer would desire to attend. as long as you have lived in Florida 6 months, you may get the ball rolling the following day in case you like.

Depends upon what he was incarcerated for, and where the money's at (if it was for theft).
He evidently did something not really all that good, and by staying married to him you are supporting his actions, making you a moral accomplis to his actions. Is this the kind of thing you want your kids to do?
Get out, find a law-abiding husband to raise your children in a positive enviroment and be a good role model, not an idiot.

Depends on how long hes in for, what he did, and the liklyhood of him doing it again. If the answers to these questions don't look good get a divorce move on and find a nice person that doesnt break the law.

Sounds like you are already considering moving on. And although I do not know the circumstances here, I would say that you should probably start rebuilding your life. Your children and dog deserve a stable home with reliable parents.
Good luck to you.

If my husband got incarcerated, I would wait faithfully for him as long as it takes. You're married, and part of the vows is ''for better and for worse''.
Make visits with the children to go see Daddy.

No time period. Some people dont mind waiting for the rest of their lives. When you feel like you need to move on with your life, then the wait is over.

That's a tough one. When would be the earliest that he might be paroled? The dog doesn't count, but the kids do.
Let's say that you wait until he is released. How will it be then?
You should talk to families of other prisoners before making a decision.

if he is a good man that made a stupid mistake then wait for him you are all he has to hold onto right now and he need something to look forward to when he get out, but if he was a *** and the relationship wasn't that good move on and get a better man
but you would wait for him and make him repay you for the rest of your life

How much do you love him? Although I have never been in this situation, I would wait forever for my husband. But that is just me. If you don't love him or if he is going away for life, and you feel like you don't want to wait, then file for divorce and move on. Just don't move on while you are still married to him. It is not fair to him, you, the kids or your new beau.
