Just another one, you don't have to react to any solicitors letters with regard a separation order, unless specified by the court. Personally, I just ignored them and W gave up in the end and removed/destroyed all the letters.
I believe that she has to prove that you would be abusive towards her, in order for her to get a protection order for the kids. Your S should point you right there.
Watch your solicitor pounds - they soon mount up! Oh, and right now, your W's finances are her problem, not yours!
