Knowing your assests
One of the luckiest things for me in developing my divorce strategy was knowing in advance what our assets were and having a small amount of debt. At least there was a small amount of debt until the last few weeks of the marriage. She saw fit to pay for her attorney on our credit card before the papers were filed. Knowing our worth and our debt made it much easier to determine how to divide the assets. Her attorney could not argue with bank statements and credit card bills. I did have to pay half the credit card bills but at least having the statements put limit on how far it could be stretched.
