Only you can decide what to do, but I feel you need to find a job first, to ensure the new job will cover your expenses. Another thing I would suggest is to get half the house if you both worked hard for it. I can't tell you how many times I have given this next advice, and people email me later saying they didn't listen and had to wind up going back to court to get more money or things.
My suggestion, and this may sound harsh, is to get all you can in child support and property. If later, and trust me you won't , you feel you have gotten too much, you can give him back some each month, but at least you will have it on paper, and it will be legal. So many people going through a divorce give up so much just to get rid of the person they no longer want to be with, and then later, after the dust settles, they realize they have given away too much.
This, of course, is just a suggestion. You know your situation, and I hope whatever that may be, you will decide to do not only what is right for you, but your children as well. Good luck, and let us know how things go, as I am sure it will help other people.
