If she's wanting a divorce this is unachievable.
Lawyer up and get a bulldog. Otherwise, she will take everything and leave you with an empty roll of toilet paper.

A lot of TD posters chose poorly when choosing a spouse.
Correct, but for many of us, menopause/depression/COVID and/or a pissed off feminist "friend" is all it takes for a woman to destroy everything. I've watched five well-established, "normal" families obliterated over one or both of the things I listed above in the past three years and it is fricking sad.
Combine that with a society and social media apparatus that encourages women to destroy their families and here we are. Not to mention the billion dollar divorce machine that financially incentivized all of this.

Get your own attorney. She will go back on everything she has agreed on up to now - bank on it. This will get ugly. Be ready for this.
Especially once she sees you being happy again or maybe even dating someone.
not only will she have her own attorney she will have a staff of in house free attorney "advisers," her cohorts, giving her advice on what she should get, how she can and should screw you over, etc.

Oh please it’s the other way around more often than not.
To be fair, I know a couple of women who were cheated on and left.
However, the overall statistics of male/female and female/female divorce rates and reasons for divorce scream otherwise.
Statistically, men aren't the problem when it comes to marriages not lasting. The numbers are not even close, and it is understandable why if you are paying attention.

Her social circle will make things much worse. Dumb question: is there a way to shut down casual discussion on proceedings like an NDA? You agree to it and if you see her friends running their mouths about the divorce you can hold them accountable?

You can sign an NDA on pretty much anything if both parties agree. Why would she without some consideration though? There’s nothing to gain

Get your own attorney and no matter how she acts, you being reasonable will earn you NOTHING, there is no goodwill to earn here.
Fight for everything you want and get the smallest detail in writing.

Worth a shot. Anything to try and take their peanut gallery away from them. All it takes is one dumbass friend who thinks they know better to ruin an amicable agreement

the lawsuit for injuries she sustained in an accident, alone, doesn't.
Did she have medical expenses that they had to pay out of pocket from joint funds? Or was she out of work for a while and not getting paid, which would have either eaten into their joint savings and/or caused them to accrue debt as a couple? Or did he have to take time off work to stay home and care for her? That's the only logical reasons I could see for him getting any portion of her accident settlement.

if she cheated on you and is saying this is all your fault.... then it is going to get very ugly in court. be ready to be disappointed.
- do not text her anything incriminating
- do not call her and leave incriminating voicemail's or have incriminating conversation's
- do not bash her to your kids
- DO save all her texts that she has sent you
- DO take the high road during arguments and kill her with kindness moving forward
good luck.

I feel like if he gets drunk and leaves her 10 voicemails she’ll take him back

I don't know all the specifics, but they both worked from home at the time of the accident.

Well, he said that there are kids involved, and that he doesn’t want the divorce. I’d say that it doesn’t sound pleasant.
I’d imagine him being an involved father this is going to be hell for him. What so many men have to face in going from seeing their kids daily from seeing them every other weekend.

mine was not contested in any way. We used the same lawyer and it was much less expensive. it depends on the two of you
OP said in another post that he found out she was having an affair and then after trying to work through it, she's blaming everything on him. If you're both using the same lawyer in a divorce / custody case, there needs to be a level of trust between all parties involved and there's no way OP should trust her right now. He needs his own lawyer to look out for his best interests.

we have agreed on a custody schedule.
If you can agree on a property settlement, and child support amount, you probably don't need attorneys. My wife and I divorce without attorneys, and it was fine. Whenever you involve a lawyer, the only one who wins will be the lawyer.

And in OT style, the men are always perfect and did nothing to ever cause a divorce.

I had a close friend commit suicide over something like this (and he had kids). This shite is real.

I know people who have used a joint lawyer and it worked fine. If you can both agree on the separation of assets, child support (or none), and custody schedule you are wasting money by getting separate attorneys. If there is any disagreement in those three areas then don't.

You can file yourself without a lawyer for $350.00 if you both agree to terms.
A lawyer will costs at least $5,000.00

For some, it may be, but the couples who run it have survived, and as cliche as it may be to say, they have thrived. One of the presenting couples attended in the 90s and are still together, so for some it may be a band-aid, for others it is the triage that saves their relationship!
