I’ve been unhappily married for 13 years. I have two children with my wife. I’m the only one in the household who goes to work to pay all the bills and basically pay for everything we need in the house while my wife sleeps the day away and does absolutely nothing. They are evenings where I come back home and she doesn’t even make dinner. She doesn’t clean the house and doesn’t even want to get a job. I’ve become angry and upset and she walks around the house like she owns the place. She has a victim complex when I call her out on it and pins me as a bad guy while having an entitlement attitude.

I want to get a divorce. The problem is I know they’re extremely expensive. I live in Chicago Illinois. Can anyone guide me or direct me to a lawyer that can help me that is not too expensive or any resources that could help me? I’m no longer happy and I don’t want to live the rest of my life like this. Even though we’re having a lot of issues, she does not want to leave my house. Probably because we have about 12 animals in the house that she brought into my home and I only approved of a couple of them. She won’t go to her parents house because they will not accept her with the zoo full of animals. I am angry and I am borderline depressed and I am at my wits end. The only reason I go to work is for my kids who I want full custody of. They both see what is happening. She cannot take care of herself, let alone my children. I own my own home, which is pay for, I have a good paying job with benefits, and I know I can take care of my children. I’m just tired of this. She has no loyalty to me or our children. She is a horrible wife, mother, and overall individual while holding no accountability in life and runs around in circles making excuses while deflecting.
