When going through a divorce with your wife and have 2 children what should you ask an attorney and what can you expect?

[Edit]

Answer

First things first, you should get a family attorney who cares about your situation and is honest with you. You need to ask what your chances are of getting custody of the kids (if you want them). Second, you need to expect that you will pay child support and alimony which will eat up much of what you earn. Divorces can be ugly if both parents are fighting. It would be best for the children if the family didn't split up at all, but if divorce is inevitable, then make it a clean break. Fighting will hurt the children more than either you or your wife. Treat her well and stay on civil (even friendly) terms. Remember, you married her so you loved her once. She is also the mother of your children so being good to her means a better life for your kids (plus she is less likely to alienate them from you).
