Hello all,

I am a proud dad of a 15th month old boy. Unfortunately the relationship with my wife has been rather rocky, and she has run away several times this year, but for our son and her residency permit (she is chinese) we have not taken steps to a divorce. Now she has played a very dirty trick on me, by falsely accusing me at the police of abuse. I got charged for that last week. As a result I am not allowed in my house anymore, and not allowed to initiate contact with her.

I know it sounds absurd to most, as usually the woman is the one that gets the abuse. The police assumes the same too, and believes her words, not mine. However, she has a history of hitting and biting me, but I never pressed charges against her (yes, I know, that was stupid of me). But as you can imagine I am in deep trouble now.

To defend myself the best possible way, and then fight for the divorce and if possible for custody, I need the best lawyer money can buy. Since I am not familiar at all with the legal scene in Switzerland, I am looking for recommendations about strong, knowlegeable male lawyers in Winterthur/Zurich that can help with this domestic violence/divorce/custody case.

Help and recommendations are very much appreciated.

Leen
