I'm not sure if what you need is legal advice. I think what you need is marriage counseling. The physical, emotional, financial process of a divorce is very difficult. Since you have two little children, it will be even more difficult for both of you. Whatever your problem is, you should try to work it out.
However, if you can't and want a divorce, this is what you can look forward to. Attorney fees can be anywhere from $2,000 to $50,000 depending on whether you settle your case quickly or fight all the way to trial. Chances are custody and visitation will be split 50/50, that means your children will be going back and forth between you and your wife until they reach 18 yrs old. One or both of you will have to pay child support depending on amount of money each party makes and the time each of spend with the children. One thing is for sure, both of you will complain about not having enough money. Think about it, you currently have a joint income with one household expense. However, if you get a divorce, the income stays the same yet expenses will have almost doubled. It is not a good situation for both. Of course, if you have to get a divorce and you have no choice, then speak to each other about a settlement so that your attorney fees and cost and stress will be reduced greatly. Good luck.
