I've said it here before and I'll say it again and again and again. Get. A. Lawyer. Spend the money. It's the single most important investment you'll make during this divorce process. Want to see your kids more? Lawyer. False accusations of abuse? Lawyer. Locked out of your own house? Lawyer. From the get go you need someone who knows the law, the procedures in court and how to navigate the paperwork. Don't fuck around. This is the rest of your life here.
