Puppy, I thought the affair was ended in early March because I confronted her several times. She told me she would stop talking to him and the internet chat did stop and she removed him from Facebook. I thought we were on the road to recovery, and then out of the blue last weekend, the texting started up. I am having a very difficult time thinking about even going to an attorney because I feel like I am throwing in the towel. I know I should for my own interests, but I just can't right now because I love my wife and family so much I will put every bit of effort I have in saving my marriage. I have such a deep love for this woman I can't give up and my family is the single most important thing to me.
Going to see a good family law attorney -- preferably one who specializes in "men's rights" and paternal custody and such -- has absolutely NOTHING TO DO with whether or not you love your wife, or are "throwing in the towel," Ken. It's simply good common sense to protect yourself, when you yourself said your wife has been threatening to make sure you don't get to see your kids.
There are laws in place to protect you. I strongly suggest you learn more about your rights and responsibilities. Do NOT tell your wife you are doing this; just go get an initial consultation (most are free).

Some of us are going to participate in "fathers rights" groups to learn all our rights. I'm in a situation today, and not just talking about myself, because you may be in it. I am legally married, my state does not recognize seperation. I am currently "kicked out" of the apartment ( her name is on lease ), and I don't really have access to my children.
I don't know my rights here, and don't want the police called. So I'm going to be forced to learn my rights and think that participating in a "fathers rights" group will be a surefire and very fast way to learn what my rights are.
I don't even think I can be kicked out. I also know that in my situation, there is something called "shared custody", also I'm hearing she can't take them out of state without making me aware. I have to learn down to the letter what my rights are in this situation.
