Re: spouse cheated
Let me summarize what SEEMS to be your situation:
Your spouse has created a painful disaster. Yours seems particularly disastrous, and particularly painful.
Very very likely, you are going to have to start a divorce. You need to solve some problems in your life and your children's lives, and a divorce is pretty much needed; that is what I understand that you are saying.
Employment, income to pay the family's expenses, is an issue.
You have kids: custody and vistation, and child support are issues.
Child support and college tuition needs to be paid. Measured in tens of thousand of dollars.
You have a house, and maybe some money saved. You have a pension plan; your spouse has a pension plan.
Go see a decent, experienced divorce attorney located reasonably near you, and have the attorney to review your situation carefully with you, and give you some guidance. A good attorney could save you thousands of dollars and a great deal of heartache, make your life more manageable, and reduce the harm to the kids.
When choosing an attorney, make sure it is someone whose personality works for you, someone you can work with.

That is a tough situation, you need to sit down with an attorney and talk this out. This BBS is not the proper forum for such a complex situation.
