Legal Question in Family Law in California
My wife abandoned me with our two children, ages 3 and 1, last July when they were 3 and 9mo. She moved 3hours away and left me to take care of the kids even though I work full time. At first she wanted them two weekends a month, now she says she can't do that she can only do one weekend a month. I have been hesitant to get a divorce because: 1. She doesn't have the money to do it even though I do 2. I don't want to give her half custody after how she abandoned us 3. I'm worried she will seek alimony even though she left me with all the debt and pays no child support and 4. I'm worried she will try to get full custody at some point and take them from me, even though I have contributed so much for them. I would like to speak to a lawyer but it would have to be affordable, I don't know of any lawyers, and don't have a lot of time to spend interviewing them. I hope someone might have advice for me, thanks.

The long your situation goes with the "abandonment", the better it is for you and the children remaining in the same routine and without your wife being entitled to spousal support.

You may also want to consider a legal separation to start. This will protect you from any debts your wife may occur during the separation.
