As someone who suffered living in a house where the parents "stayed for the kids," I can say without a doubt that it NEVER works. The toxicity is everywhere, the fights are an everyday thing, the tension is unbearable, you basically teach your kids that "this is normal," and so many other bad things. From this story, I suppose OP's family is low-middle class or something. The dad's fears of not seeing the children and how difficult finding another place seemed at the end. Since the law tends to favor women, fighting in court is an uphill and expensive battle.
The dad deserves to be happy. Just split and move on. If the dad does choose to stay then go the petty route and cheat back or fake cheating back. Give her a taste of the same medicine

Couldn't have said it better
This story makes me appreciate that my parents split instead of faking it and "staying for the kids".
I could never imagine having to see my dad breakdown like that
Seven minutes in and we’ve already looped twice.
Nah can't imagine having to see a dad breakdown like that at least OP stuck by him
Im willing to bet that mother would soon call her kids ungrateful when they go NC with her
She’s also gonna get at least 97 STDs and a meth addictions if she’s lucky
People change sometimes better bur people forget its sometimes for the wrose
