Retain counsel. If you are doing this alone you are making a big mistake.
Re: divorce
A contested divorce is a very involved process, especially if there are children. There are many documents to prepare, calculations to do, information to gather, arguments to put together. These things are technical and the entire process cannot be taught in an email. I strongly recommend getting representation. If you have to do this yourself, the general advice I would give you is document everything including expenses, visitation times, inappropriate actions on the part of the other parent, etc. Do not put the children in the middle. And, be nice! Be courteous and cooperative.
