Its very hard to communicate with him without drama. I spoke to him in getting the rest of the papers noterized and he said he isnt signing anything without visitaion papers but I already have them printed out but he said he was getting a lawyer. Just need some guidence in what I need to do. Thanks

You should get an attorney. It is one thing if a divorce is uncontested. Most people with some diligence can navigate that process without an attorney. Once however it becomes clear that he is going to contest it, you need an attorney to get through the process.
This is especially true when children are involved. The amount of paperwork increases and so does the likelihood of a mistake that could have a long lasting impact.
