My husband is saying he will not do a divorce settlement until after custody is decided. The court date for the custody trial is June 6, but he or I can file for divorce after May 11, 2025. I told him those are two separate things. Should I go ahead and present him and his lawyer with a proposal for divorce that does not include custody, or am I forced to wait? There was infidelity and alcohol misuse on his part, but proving that wouldn’t be worth the time and energy unless he decides to lowball me. What is your opinion on the back and forth here?

Me and my husband have not been getting along and it's been a month. We had a huge argument and he left home. I am not sure how to navigate my situation.
