Don't try to be nice because she sure the hell want be. She's been planning this for months she's already 5 steps ahead. Lawyer up no matter what.

Affairs are dangerous things.
She was screwing someone while he was out of town on business? What a skank.

do not talk to the other person except if absolutely necessary.

Get over being pissed off at each other. The reasons you're at this point are irrelevant. It's a business negotiation at this point. Work it out the split with your spouse and don't let lawyers get rich off of you.

I would simply say this:
The person you're about to divorce is NO LONGER the person you married. EVERYONE changes at this point. Do not EVER forget that. Communicate as little as possible with the enemy.
When the gavel drops and judgments are set and property settled, then cordial conversation about the kids and schedules is okay.

Just the typical she's crazy and he wants out scenario. He already has the best attorney. Just wanted to help him if I could with some words of wisdom from the OT.
If he has minor kids and he just wants to "get out" because of some mid life thing or is infatuated with some new strange, tell him to be a man and put his kids first. They are the ones who always get the worst end of these things.

Try to work it out, don't do it if possible. Best advice I can give.

Be prepared for her to nitpick every last penny to try and make sure she gets her share. If you say her car is worth $50,000 she will say you are trying to screw her out of money because it's really worth $50,500 according to one of her friends who is banging a used car dealer.

My best advice: leave love out of it. Like someone posted earlier forget about once was. Treat divorce as a business deal. Hate to say it that way but guarantee that trying to be nice shite will screw you over for years. Go for joint custody and the tax filing split evenly along with assets. Trust me from the good guy my EX wife fricked me good and if I had to do it over again I would have took my own advice. TRUST ME ON THIS MATTER

But it certainly doesn't compare to the childhood experience of mom and dad together, joking, loving, occasionally arguing and making up.
When there's a divorce, generally it's because the mom and dad are no longer joking or loving. Kids can sense tension. In an ideal world, yes, the parents stay together, but I don't think that kids are any worse off following a divorce than they'd be with parents who dislike each other. In fact--I'd argue the exact opposite. If things are that tense, the kids are better off post-divorce. And they're certainly better off if the divorced parents can be civil with one another and are on the same page regarding parenting.
And it helps if you don't marry the crazy ones--doesn't matter how hot or good in bed they are. That will fade. Most people don't turn crazy. They are always that way, so don't reproduce with someone when there are obvious personality conflicts from the get go. Find someone who is easy to be around and someone who you genuinely enjoy and find interesting--someone who wants to make your life better or easier and doesn't put conditions on their love. Compatibility goes a long way.

And you'd be wrong, according to the stats. Oh sure, you're focusing on a worst case scenario marriage, but those are the exceptions to the rule.
