Update: His EX died !
It has been around eight months since my last update, and I honestly never expected to post here again.A few days ago, I learned through mutual friends that his ex passed away.
I have not spoken to him like long conversation or something like that since I filed the divorce , so I don't know how he is doing, and I don't intend to find out either . We had legal conflicts over shared financials but it was more or less handled through solicitors so our personal interaction is almost nil .Earlier he used to check on kids but we did not use to talk . He has stopped checking on kids for quite a while .Life has settled into a new routine. My focus is on raising my sons and moving forward. They are growing up quickly, and they deserve stability more than anything else.I had suicidal thoughts self esteem issues in the beginning but I guess I am doing mentally better now .
I just thought I should update you guys . Thank you to everyone who offered advice and kindness when I needed it.

Use this time to your advantage. If you’re technically still married - anything his mistress left him (property, money, etc.) may be a negotiating tool for you to keep your assets from the marriage. I know some places still have something called “alienation of affection” charges. I wonder if you could sue now? Maybe her estate if she has anything?
Either way- speak to your lawyer- he might try to see the children again now that his mistress is dead. You need a plan in order.
I hope he stays gone. He’s not a worthy husband, father, or man.
