[quote=Anonymous]Be smarter than you are being right now - you can be more strategic and active and work to gain the outcome you want.  YOU ARE QUITE THERE.

Talk to a lawyer.  Understand your rights. But, when it comes down to it, really try hard to avoid this becoming a legal situation. Try to keep it amicable and agree to split things yourselves.   try to avoid spending money you don't need to spend (but spend some money in advance so you go in smart and know how this all goes).

Take the inheritance out of any discussions immediately.  Never ever mention it to your soon to be x.

If he's approached things as fair - your money vs his money - try to keep his phrasing, use his words, to get the outcome you want (walking away without having to give up your savings or any of your future earnings).

Try and wrap this up quickly. Often the spouse who is leaving will want things to wrap up quickly and may be more agreeable (he may also feel a little guilty) - use that to your advantage.

Getting your affairs in order means knowing all your accounts, all your alances, what each of you brought into the marriage, and your policies, all the joint info - logins, passwords, etc.  Start tracking money carefully and make sure nothing is disappearing from joint accounts.
