She already has. That's part of the issue. It's like a virus.

is she a swiftie?
good luck
the main thing is make sure you are protected financially especially with the retirement thing
as far as kids go, that can be done amicably and make sure the kids are ok with the arrangement

A few thoughts.
When the dust settles, and it will, EVERY aspect of your life will be better.
Getting a divorce was the best thing that has ever happened to me.

We're trying to handle this civilly
I tried that, she got nasty very quickly once her lawyer started upselling.
Best advice I can give you is to treat this thing as a business transaction and put up an emotional wall. It's hard to do.
You'll be required to refinance the house and give her half the equity.
Here's a link to the LA State Child Support Calculator.

You can try to get her to go to a mediator and save on court cost
Any lawyer worth their weight won’t let her to leave it on the table. They want to get paid too and will make sure she can cover their cost.
Best of luck

Let me guess - she just turned 40 within the past year.

Get a lawyer, simply because kids are involved. They have some that will cover both sides, but I wouldn't risk it.

Good luck. People say they want to be civil … then friends/family get in their ear and it’s on.

If you have it all worked out, wait the year, fill out a basic divorce petition form (most of the courts have them online) and be done with it.

If she isn’t willing to try to make it work, she already has a new guy. Women don’t leave what they have unless they have a nice option to go to. Best of luck brother

Not really.
"We've agreed on everything and will split custody." Will get it done if there are no issues in dispute.

I get that you are trying to do this civilly. But I promise you, something will h happen that will cause an argument or someone will feel regretful for giving up to much in the divorce and as soon as that happens things will go bad. They wont sign the thing and you will have to get a lawyer anyway.
AT least you get one and have them write it up for you. Listen to them on what they suggest and how to protect yourself.

Hire a lawyer to draft the legal documents based on the parameters you and your ex agreed upon.
Divorce lawyers usually bill hourly, so if there's nothing being disputed and you've already worked out who gets what, then it shouldn't cost much to have a lawyer draft the documents just to make sure you're doing things properly and not making any mistakes that could leave you exposed to her coming back after you for alimony, assets, etc later on

FWIW, adultery is cause for an immediate divorce in Louisiana, meaning you wouldn't have to wait the year and the at-fault spouse loses any claim to alimony, etc.
Have to be able to prove adultery, but it can be done circumstantially.

You need a lawyer. If you think it will go civilly, you're nuts. Trust me. I know plenty, including someone very close who had the same belief. It doesn't happen. You're getting screwed. Remember that when it happens.
You know why she doesn't "want" alimony, right?
You need a lawyer! Don't be stupid. Get a good one who doesn't play the "let's be civil game".

Going on dates with other people even if it doesn't lead to sex would probably be the main way.

You haven’t had many conversations with females obviously.
