Living under the same roof & being divorced doesn't work.....I lived separated under the same roof for 13 years & that was worse than if I had been able to leave....the bad fights were probably worse on our daughter than if we had just gotten the divorce or I had been able to leave like I finally was able to do.
Not sure why your wife had the money for that much legal counsel before the divorce without your knowing about it.....& in most states, marriage counseling is mandatory before being able to get a divorce. Sounds like there was a lot going on that was probably obvious going on before she hit you with the divorce.
Know that divorce is difficult....but sometimes it's the best thing when we really sit down & analyze the relationship even taking the kids into consideration. I'm sure it will all work out well.....change is never easy for anyone.
