Spouse knows that I had an affair but still wants to work it out. I have filed for div (no-fault) even tho there is history of emotional abuse. We are 1 month into the 2-month waiting period. I recently told him that there is no hope for reconciliation. He flew off the handle and threatened to drag me into to court to admit the affair, the other person, etc. He also said that he would pursue 20% alimony, 25% child support, the house, and primary custody.

I filed and am through with the marriage. Yet, I am scared about the prospect of going to trial. Was wondering if I should be overly worried about it. Lawyer says to not think about it right now - it's still a ways off if it even goes to trial. Part of me wants to offer something close to what spouse is asking just to get it over with, but the other part knows I may be hurting myself in the long run.

Thanks in advance for any help
