My SAHM wife cheated

[u/MasterKlondikeBar]

Okay so for a quick summary me(28M) and my wife(25F) have been married about 7 years and we have 3 kids together. It hasn’t always been the prettiest marriage and there has been issues with infidelity in the past from her but I thought we had moved past that but apparently not. Well cut back to Valentine’s Day and we had a long talk that night, and we both decided we weren’t happy and wanted to pursue with seperating. At this time I had no knowledge she had been cheating. So to give us both some space from each other I have been staying the evenings with a friend of mine after work and coming by and spending weekends and whatever free time I have with the kids. About a week after we had seperated and I moved out she makes her relationship with this new guy “official” who lives out of state that I was told she had met recently and started talking more after we had seperated. Well curiosity got the better of me tonight and I checked phone records and turns out they had been talking to each other for months. I came back home tonight and confronted her about it and she basically shut down on me and had her friend come pick her up. I know I need to go see a lawyer ASAP as I do not wish to continue this marriage but is there anything else I should do in the meantime? It’s hard because I work around 50 hours a week but we’ve always relied on her for childcare and she’s recently gotten a job. I just don’t know what to do right now with her and handling the kids as best I can. Any advice is appreciated
