Advice please
Hello all, I'm new to the forum and need an advice on a divorce matter, my Stbx and i were married for 12 years with 2 kids, 2 years ago I told her i wanted out after an argument where she accused me of infidelity and where she provoked me to want to hit her, i continued to stay in the same home separately while paying all the bills including fuel in her car i had bought and was still paying for, because she was going to school and she had no skills to survive on.
My business started to fail a few months before i told her wanted out of the marriage, but i still continued to carry the costs of the home by my self, a year ago I suggested the house be sold which turned to a battle until 2 months ago when she completed her schooling and agreed to sell the house, since the sale of the home she has rejected her legal aid lawyer claiming her lawyer studied under my lawyer so she does not trust her legal advice, she then decided not to continue with negotiations with regards to custody and the equalization of marital asset, i am having a hard time to see my kids, she finds all the excuses in the world to prevent me from seeing them, so i decided to work according to the draft agreement where i have the kids 4 days and she 10 days every other week, i did that once but the next time she met me at their school where she caused a seen by yelling and claiming i was taking her kids away which caused some by standing parents to call the cops, i walked away without taking my kids for the weekend, 2 weeks after sending her a message 3 days prior advising her i will be picking the kids from school on a Friday which she did not reply btw, when i got to their school on the Friday, as i was trying to get the kids one of the teachers was calling her, i know, i have equal rights to the children just as she does so they should only call her if they have some kind of court Oder stating those instructions correct me if am wrong please, I don't have money for court so i have decided not to fight for or about the kids i know it sounds cold but their mental well being is more important, but i will like my half of the equity since the home has been sold, please what can i do?
I did try to do this separation collaboratively but that has failed as you can read, after $12000 out of pocket so far.
I will like to file for a divorce in the new year on my own at the court house.
Should i ask my lawyer for all the financial information i have paid for him to prepare so far and is that normally done?
