And while we're at it get a paternity test on the kids... just in case. Too many guys end up paying for years for kids they find out ain't theirs.....
If you can do things amicably, do so now and get a lawyer to certify it.... make sure that you both agree and both parties have their own lawyer to ratify it.
If not, bring the lawyer in early... nothing worse than bringing a spoon to a knife fight... Being nice doesn't pay when someone's trying to screw you..............
If she's walked out that will help your case, but family courts are usually much more generous to the women.
just make sure that if she walks out with half the assets, she walks out with half the debt too - and assets and debts are moved into the appropriate person's hands.

Then she can try and sue you for half the profit, not half the new purchase price so you wear half the new car and the monty you've already lost in depreciation.
Living in major debt for the next 20 years while she runs off for an easy life with the next bloke on your money is a real b1atch.
Oh.... one more thing..... don't let her have the dog.... let her have the kids, the money, or the car, but don't let her have the dog.
You can always trust the dog to love and respect you..........
