The Department of family and children services and a court granted me custody of my children due to my estranged wife's incarcaration for four felonies, two being drug related. We haven't been together since 2001 when I joined the military. The kids went back and forth as I was deployed and she was put in jail. I've tried to divorce in the past but just couldn't afford it at the time being lower ranking. Today was easter and I allowed her to visit with the kids. At the end of the visit after the kids were back inside we began talking about future visits. When I didn't approve the future visits she became irrate and physically assaulted me. I called the cops and filed the report. Later I will take out a warrant for her arrest. All of this has happened and we are still not divorced. How do I go about getting the divorce while maintaining the custody of my children without using a lawyer and filing the divorce myself giving me the ability to afford it and move on with my life?
