[quote=Anonymous]Which state are you in? VA is usually 50/50 on assets obtained during the marriage. Get to a lawyer ASAP. Some can even give you a consultation for free.  But even if you need to pay, it's well worth knowing where you stand.

Did you officially separate? Are your accounts joint? If they are joint, open up an individual account and transfer half from the joint right away.  Make copies of your accounts and any financial documents now and store them in a safe place. You'll at least have a financial view of where things stand today.

As the PP mentioned, divorces can be pricey when one doesn't agree. You'll really have to think about what you really want to fight for versus what you can live with. Me and my X agreed on most things and it still cost $5500 to divorce. I was the bread winner too and got the shorter end of the stick ( and we divorced because he was cheating and left to be with OW). He left when my kid's were 7 mths and 2.5 yrs. So believe me, I wanted him to pay big time. But the courts don't care about adultery and I didn't want to spend $$ on things that may not go my way in the long wrong.

Best of luck. It is stressful and emotional. You'll need to think of it as a business transaction and you cam end up doing things based on emotions. [/quote]
