I have know two divorced dads who seem to have the correct idea of child rearing. The first was a fellow teacher and spelunker. On the third day of absence, I called his home to offer help. No answer for a couple of days. I called his former wife to see if she knew what was up. To my surprise, he answered the phone. He has sprained an ankle rappelling off of a cliff and went to her house to recuperate. They had no intention of reconciling. This was the level of cooperation that showed to each other for the benefit of two very well adjusted children.
Please, if a divorce is necessary, think of the children before you take any odd actions after the divorce. I doubt that in more than 1 in 1000 divorces, the children are the root of that action. They deserve to be the main consideration after a divorce.
Show your maturity!
