Been there done that! I would recommend one more layer of protection. Read,study, research everything to learn about divorce in your court jurisdiction. In any profession there are specialists who are just getting by, there are large firms with hundreds of clients that will bill the H out of everything, and there are those who live and breathe the latest information to WIN and prevail for their clients. You want a current practice trial attorney who is known as a winner to help you keep from losing every asset you have earned and will earn in the future. Why? Because opposing attorneys might just be more cunning, skilled and aggressive. The best defense requires an excellent offense. George Washington, in 1799 wrote, “…make them believe, that offensive operations, often times, is the surest, if not the only (in some cases) means of defense”. Sun Tzu, the Chinese military general, writer and philosopher in The Art of War wrote that “Attack is the secret of defense; defense is the planning of an attack”.

I agree! I filed after ten years and first did research of what was involved. I studied open court files ( two years) before I made the decision to file. I prepared a comprehensive list of what I expected my lawyer to do as my legal representative and met him for a no charge 46 minute pre contract meeting. First, he asked me some questions and I honestly answered. His retainer to handle everything but the QDRO was $60K. Okay lets get started. I only read from my notes and no elaboration or idle chit chat --just the facts, no parrots or worries about nothing being "fair", unless he asked me a specific question. We went over each line item of my notes. He asked me if I had previously talked to an attorney. No. He was very impressed with my work and asked me what could he do since I took care of most of the work he would be doing. He liked how I handled the real estate issues ( two properties) to my satisfaction and also wanted to know how I got the signatures and forms required without alerting her to my plans. I was able to have my spouse sign off on our agreements but it took several years of "no contact" for her to finally relent and sign all agreements. She had hired 5 different law firms and two teams of investigators ( I caught them) to try to find "hidden" assets (there were none). It took me about five years to re invent myself and my career ( yes I was house less living in my car) . It took another 5 years to surpass my assets that I had accumulated at the time of the divorce. WHY? My goal was NOT an equitable or fair settlement but the quest for Peace Quiet and Freedom which I got (along with poverty) on the day I filed. PQF allows men to seek better and better productivity and success without nagging or that pesky parrot. I recommend my strategy for men with similar goals. There can be a happy life after divorce, but it takes lots of planning and keeping your mouth shut ( it is just like a war). Once I got approval from the court for the signed paperwork that was all I needed ( plus a claw back period) to avoid the hassles of a court supervising my life. No OSC's, no motions, no petitions, no responses, no counselors, no hearings, no more services AND NO MORE PARROTS. She can now say " I am NOT happy" forever if she likes, and it has no effect on my life. My adult children have returned from "Fantasyland" and "Wokeland" ( he must and she has) of our current family laws and policies. Marriage can be dangerous to everything you have worked for. BTW we did not have fights or arguments. While we were together I let her put my huevos in her purse! Who is in control now? A wife's mother, sister and friends can be exceedingly dangerous and they were.
