It sounds like you have a good plan. Take good care of yourself so that you can stick to it. Make sure you eat good, get some strenuous exercise and sleep.
Come here and post before you take any other actions. That can often keep you from doing something you may regret later. Yes, these emotions overwhelm us all and lead us in poor directions.
I got a lot of good advice here about finding a good lawyer. I suggest you download the NOLO guide to divorce. A vet (karen) here recommended it to me when I was in an emotional panic. Educate yourself; it will help when you talk with the lawyers.
I ended up interviewing three different lawyers before I settled on one. I wanted a lawyer that only did family law. I got recommendations from friends. It was also recommended to me that I get a female lawyer.
The bottom line, knowing my legal rights has made a big difference for me.
