Last year, when I was about to renew my spousal visa. My narcissistic wife suddenly decided that she would not sign the necessary papers for my visa extension and told me to move home to my home country. I panicked, refused, and begged her to change her mind. At the time she was pregnant with our second child, we had bought a house, two cars, and I couldn't for the life of me understand how she could ever support herself on her salary alone. I begged and I prayed for her not to make this fatal mistake.
The next day I told my employer, who was very kind and they set me up with a temporary apartment at their expense in Tokyo, close to my office.
I spoke to my bosses in several parts of the world around the clock, what could we do?
I sent my wife an email offering a certain amount of money each month if we could live separated if I was guaranteed a certain amount of contact with my kids each month.
She accepted. And I was allowed to visit my daughter at the hospital when she was born. After that I met my son, and my newborn daughter maybe once a month.
But,
In February she stopped answering and returning my calls, and I got a letter from her attorney. Her attorney requested that all future correspondence go through him. And that that my wife would launch a law suit for divorce. Fortunately I managed to change my address in time which forced her to apply to the family court in Tokyo.
My company came through again, and set me up with a lawyer at their expense.
Since then I have been through countless meetings in court it seems, and I have seen my son and my daughter only once since the beginning of the year.
I have almost given up all my hope. I just want to go back to my house and visit them. Even just standing on the street outside to let my son see me and know that I am still alive and that I still think of them all the time.
I'm wondering, since we are still technically married, can anything bad come from me just going there at this point?
My lawyer advised against it. But I am unsure why, how much worse can it really get? Is it a crime for me to visit my own house at this point?
Does anyone know?
