I separated from my wife when I told her that I wasn't sure that I was in love with her anymore when we had 2 boys, one who was 2 1/2 years and the other was only 6 weeks. I had developed feelings for someone else and had told this other person that before I was separated. Since I have been separated i have started a relationship with the other person and my wife is now intending to divorce on the grounds of adultery.

My wife blames the other person entirely for the marriage breakdown and intends to name her as a co-respondent in the petition. She has also said that she only intends for me to be able to see the children once a week at the moment and that even this would be supervised and no plans as to when this would change.

Can anyone give me any idea of what my entitlement to see the kids may be as I am obviously unhappy at the thought of the above.

Wow, its so easy to walk away. Are you sure counselling wouldnt have helped. Your wife is going to be very angry and upset at the moment. As for access, you would be better getting in touch with your solicitor.

It wasn't easy to walk away at all. I asked her for some time to clear my head and sort out my feelings but when I moved out I had to keep coming back because she kept calling me and needed me there.

We had talked about counselling before and both rejected it at one point or another and when we did try after we had separated we simply ended up arguing through the counsellor.

I was just wondering what kind of access is usual for kids really

One thing I would strongly advise is that when you get the access sorted out, don't introduce them too early to your new girlfriend. Everyone needs time to adjust to the massive changes. Kids should always remain priority.

I don't intend to introduce them for a long time yet. I don't want to confuse things any more than they have to be

I am glad you are thinking of the kids here. We can only imagine the turmoil that our children go through when parents separate. The last thing they need is someone else in the equation. Wish my sxtb had considered our kids, but he didn't. He did as he always has. Thought of him and him alone.
