Who to consult?
Ok so we live separately under the same roof. I'm wondering who I need to consult to get a thorough analysis of my financial position if I should proceed with divorce within the next 12 months.
Right now the only things that are keeping me present are the hope for change and the worry about my financial future.
I've had enough of living life on eggshells afraid of her angry outbursts and living under her anger.
There's very little intimacy etc as I've posted previously.
Child protection services have been involved with us because of her anger towards me and our son.
So I know it is hard but I need to know if a lawyer is the right person to consult to find out about our financial position taking into account all of our finances and real estate acquisitions during the marriage.
Thankyou!!
She paid for the deposits on all of our acquired property but I pay majority of the bills and the mortgage for our primary residence (even though the she paid the deposit for it). It is the only place that gained about 150k in equity. She paid 50k deposit. I've paid the mortgage for the last 5 years on it.
The only thing I want is our primary residence and her to continuing to pay for the daycare fees for our son. I can pay everything else.

If you haven't yet consulted a marriage counselor that would be your first move. Sitting around waiting for someone to miraculously "change" rather than working on communication and compromise with them is generally a waste of time. In marriages it's never just one party that causes the rupture.

WHERE matters. Divorce attorneys have contacts and refer their clients to those contacts for reasons EXACTLY like this. This IS, of course, State law, not Federal, and WHERE matters.

It doesn't matter who paid what -- all assets
acquired in the course of your marriage are
"shared" and therefore divided equally. Yes,
a lawyer is whom you should consult.

You need to see a lawyer. Explain the situation and ask about financial repercussions of divorce.
Just because you talk to a lawyer, doesn't mean you have to divorce.
