Family court, divorce?

Hey, how are you I am currently in a need of a family lawyer since the feud with my wife is still ongoing. My wife and I have been married for 17 years, we moved in together recently based on her request and while I was at work, she filed a restraining order and changed the locks to lock me out of the house—This is the second time she cheated on me by sleeping with another man we both know in our house.<br /> I said that I would not accept her back this time and since then she appears to go out of her way to make things hard for me. Her threats include text messages where she had contacted another man asking him to harm me. Even though he didn’t follow through, I feel unsafe around her and do not believe she would hesitate to hurt me again.<br /> The situation here is quite serious and i am willing to proceed with the filing of a divorce and would like to know more on the next steps i can take. It would be of great help if any person who has consulted an idea lawyer could offer his or her assistance.

Which attorney should I seek to assist me in this divorce to make sure that I do not lose my house?

I’m in need of hiring a lawyer who would help me with my divorce. I have a pretty huge house that I purchased prior to our marriage and I am in no way willing to let it go. My situation is complicated: I had a boyfriend with whom I had a child and I was one who worked and paid all the bills. He is here without papers from Guatemala and was very verbally abusive to me and my children. The man I met in the summer of 2021 kidnapped my son for two weeks and forced me to marry him and threatened to kill my son if I don’t. Then after marriage he falsely accused me of leaving my children alone, and got a restraining order against my back, without even informing me that it was issued. Now, I need a divorce, but my previous attorney was not good, he botched my case, and I had to go it alone during the final hearing. There are issues that need an attorney who has been in practice for quite a number of years so that I do not lose my house during the divorce.
