When going through a divorce with your wife and have 2 children what should you ask an attorney and what can you expect?
Seperated
First things first, you should get a family attorney who cares about your situation and is honest with you. You need to ask what your chances are of getting custody of the kids (if you want them). Second, you need to expect that you will pay child support and alimony which will eat up much of what you earn. Divorces can be ugly if both parents are fighting. It would be best for the children if the family didn't split up at all, but if divorce is inevitable, then make it a clean break. Fighting will hurt the children more than either you or your wife. Treat her well and stay on civil (even friendly) terms. Remember, you married her so you loved her once. She is also the mother of your children so being good to her means a better life for your kids (plus she is less likely to alienate them from you).

Reasons to Hire Divorce Attorneys?
Going through a divorce is one of the most emotionally stressful things that a person could ever go through. While the emotional pain and frustration is significant, the amount of legal issues that a couple has to go through can be just a frustrating. Due to the significant amount of legal issues that have to be dealt with, which could range from potential alimony, child support, or separation of assets, it is very important that a person hires a divorce attorney when going through a divorce. The first way that a divorce attorney could help someone going through the divorce process is that the attorney could help consult a person on what to expect during the divorce process. The attorney will sit with a person and explain everything that will be discussed in the divorce process. This will include reasons for separation, how assets will be split, whether or not someone will have to pay alimony or child support, and how custody of any children will take place. The second way that a divorce attorney could help someone going through the divorce process is that the attorney will help defend their client during any negotiation or legal proceedings. When going through a divorce, both parties will request what they believe they are entitled too. Since divorces are typically an emotional event, it could lead to some unfair requests. To ensure that their client receives what they are owed through the divorce, the attorney will negotiate the other party's attorney and defend them in court. The third way that a divorce attorney could help someone going through the divorce process is that the attorney could appeal any judgment made. In most situations, it would be best for all cases to be handled out of court. However, there are several situations when the divorce will need to go through a more formal legal proceeding. If you had to go through a more formal legal proceeding, and did not receive a favorable ruling, the attorney could help you out by appealing the decision. This could include negotiating down how much alimony needs to be spent or increasing the amount of visitation that you will receive.
