Update...
well, since the originally posted convo, when I hung up on him yelling that's just fine, you RUN away, I'll handle everything myself then!, we've had no contact.
He got to work this morning to find this email.
Larry -
In case you're not already aware through gossip or other means, this will serve to inform you that today I applied and was accepted to receive Mother's Allowance effective the end of the month.
Therefore, I would ask that you make other arrangements for your payroll deposits in future, as well as ensure that your family and other correspondents are aware of your new contact information.
I will in the very near future be filing for legal custody of our three children, and would appreciate it if you'd inform me as to whether you plan to dispute this, forcing court hearings, or be amicable, thereby allowing me to simply send you a form on Thursday or Friday of this week to sign and return which I can file to be legalized.
Further, I would appreciate your cooperation in my desire to not have unnecessary contact in person or by telephone with you as I settle my affairs. As to your plan to return to my home on the evening of the 15th, I would ask that you not do so, rather I will arrange to forward cheques to you via one of your coworkers on the morning of the 16th, both to cover your rent and your living expenses. If you desire to visit with your children at any reasonable time, or if at any time you wish to retrieve all or any of your personal effects, you may contact me for that purpose and we will make a suitable arrangement for you to do so.

that shocked the shit out of him. We've had a bit of back and forth since then, nothing remarkable.
he's STILL not asked about the kids...I had to tell him they're all home sick...not one question he asked. *sigh*
