Asked for a divorce

So, I have been getting into astrology lately. I got so excited about venus going retrograde that I ended up asking for divorce early. I didn't tell him the real reason. I just said I wouldn't be around a lot once I go into international business and that we should part ways. He said, "ok,"

Several days later, he made me look him in the eyes and give a religious promise to him so he won't owe us money. the agreements that he made me make was:

1. no divorce until all the children are 18
2. I can have full custody of our disabled adult children
3. I must give up all rights to alimony

He doesn't want to support us. As it is, he barely gives us food, and I know it's because of the other women in his life. I have to use some of my student refund money to support my children and enough food. I pay for all the bills using our childrens' SSI money. I am financially stressed but trying anyways.

I am hopeful for a much better future where I can be the provider he always promised to be.

Anyways, any advice is much appreciated.

He wants the children to be 18 so he doesn't have to pay child support. He wants you to care for your disabled children alone so he doesn't have to. He's a piece of shit.

@SW-User No arguments here. My kids turn 17, 17, and 18 in April. I have to apply for custodianship over my son soon. My children may end up living in a group home for disabled adults. We'll see how it goes.

@darktippedrose Don't give him any fucking thing he wants.
