Deciding whether to move out during a divorce is one of the most emotional and confusing questions people face. Will you lose time with your kids? Will moving out impact custody or child support? What happens to the mortgage, bills, or the equity in your home?

In this episode of the Illinois Divorce Guide Podcast, Greer Howard and top Illinois divorce attorney Bobby Buchanan break down the myths, risks, and practical realities behind moving out before your divorce is finalized.

They unpack:

•  The biggest custody mistake parents make when they leave the home
• Why moving out doesn’t mean giving up your rights to the equity in the house
• How child support calculations may drastically change based on overnights
• What to consider financially before supporting two households
• When safety, toxicity, or conflict make staying under one roof the wrong choice
• How to plan a smart, strategic separation that protects your rights

Whether you’re craving emotional relief, feeling stuck in a tense living situation, or trying to safeguard your relationship with your children, this episode will help you make a thoughtful decision—not one driven by urgency or fear.

If you're considering moving out, this conversation is essential before you take that step.
