Hi,
I'm married to a businessman for 13 years and we have 2 kids. As my husband's business was doing well, I stopped working since we have the first kid so I am financially dependent on him.
In the recent years, his business went downhill and he was not able to clinch as many deals as before. He would vent his frustrations on me and the kids whenever he is stressed about work. And to make things worse, I found out that he's having an affair with a woman from China for almost a year now. So far I've been suffering in silence and have not broach the topic on divorce as I am afraid of losing this family.
However, I've given this matter a long and thorough thought and decided to get a divorce. I've since shifted to my parents place with my kids. I would like to seek advice for the following please:
1. Recommendations for lawyer who's good at handling divorce cases that charges reasonable fees.
2. Are there legal implications if I stop him from seeing the kids? Originally we planned for a trip to New Zealand and he told me that he wanted to go ahead and bring the kids. Do I have the rights to refuse him given that I've not file any divorce papers? My worry is that he will use this case against me when we go to court.
Hoping to find some answers here as I am at a loss.
Thanks.
