    I have so many question to ask not even sure where to start. I left my wife. We have 3 children. We've been married for 20 years and the last 5 were pure emotional abuse from her part towards me. We have 3 children that she is completely turning against me now. We have a business and also a good bit of money in the bank. Everything is on her account. The business included (her and her brother own it 50-50%). Even though she never worked a day in her life while I worked in the business 7days a week for the whole 20 years of marriage. I left with nothing. She threw all my clothes and things out. So here I am living at my brothers wondering what next. I have no money to pay a solicitor. How do I go about seeing my children again? Will I be able to see them if they refuse to meet me? And how is our wealth going to be divided and when? Where do I apply for a Legal Separation? Basically, any advice regarding what steps to take next will be very welcome.

    Bloody hell - that all stinks.
    First up - don't ever give up, and find someone to talk to or a way to get this out of your system.

    Secondly, try to get a hold of any evidence, bills, emails etc. Legally of course.
    Also start taking records of your expenditure as well as any incoming.

    But most importantly do what you can to find a good family lawyer and get legal advice on the business. Irrespective of anything else you need to get immediate legal advice in regards to that company and anything that might be owed to you...

    I have no income as I stopped work when I left. I live,eat for free at my brothers house therefore I spend nothing. I have nothing to spend anyway. My plan is to find a lawyer tomorrow but found a website last night called legalseparation.ie. Just wondering should I just turn to them first as I am worried a lawyer would cost money that my brother doesn't have. The other thing....where do I find a GOOD family lawyer that doesn't cost a fortune and can be trusted?

    You need to get yourself to your nearest DSP office and get on jobseekers or supplementary welfare allowance. Apply for a medical card. See a doctor if you don't feel up to looking for work just yet. Look up free legal aid, I think if you google FLAC you might find out more.

    Well done for removing yourself from that toxic and abusive situation. Good luck.
