My advice is to see what happens first, if you can get a hearing soon enough. If not, move out if you get to the breaking point. It will take time and wreck your credit to allow the house to go into foreclosure, but it may be worth it. Your peace of mind and the safety of your children are the most important things.
The house is financed in my name only. So I am not sure that not making payments helps me.
You are correct- I will have a better sense of what this looks like one I make the petition and get a hearing date.
