Wife filing for divorce this week

[kb1234]

As to your question about lawyers, I would suggest getting one if she has one.
Divorce law can be tricky, and with children involved you want to make sure that you get as much custody time as possible.

Getting a lawyer does not mean you will make it more difficult, it just makes sure your interests are protected.

I hope it works out for you, but it sounds as though you are preparing for the next phase of your life.
