Your questions are reasonable, and important, and complicated. It is not possible to give you a short and simple answer.
You really need to sit down with an attorney and get some guidance. The decisions you make now will have a profound, serious and long lasting effect upon you and your children.
Some thoughts (and these are only general statements, NOT intended to guide your decisions):
You are in the beginning or middle of a divorce.
You have a job. You may have a house. you may have savings, pension, credit card bills, and other things to deal with.
Your spouse may have a job.
You may have a child (children), and child support and college tuition needs to be paid. That is measured in tens of thousand of dollars.
Nothing that an attorney can say over this bulletin board can come close to helping you solve your problems. Careless actions by you will likely cost you thousands of dollars, make your life more difficult, and possibly cause additional harm to the child (children).
Hire an attorney. Go to an experienced divorce attorney located reasonably near you, and pay the attorney to review your situation carefully with you, and give you some guidance.
