She will get what the judge orders you
to give if you two can't resolve it and
it may or may not be half. Ongoing
spousal support may be another issue.

Things i learned:

Give NO money until EVERYTHING is
settled and you have a divorce judgement
in hand. If you do a property settlement
only, be sure that money will be used to
hire more lawyer power.

Take the lead on getting a joint custody
agreement to be able to protect your
kids. You don't need her consent to take
them to counselling. Get them help as
the cost is high indeed.

Keep track of everything, write
everything down, and discuss nothing
with her but only with your lawyer.

If separated, use the kids as equivalent
to spouse for tax deductions.

There of course is a lot more, but
protect those kids smartly, creatively
and with there mental health in mind. I
wish i had done more at the time, even
should have called protective services
in hindsight.

Hope this helps. I tried to divorce for
5 years with someone and know that i
know what you are going thru. Hang in
there and be reminded what Willie Nelson
said, you haven't really lived till you
have gotten a divorce.

Hopperbin, I'm looking to invest in the black earth
area and am looking for potential farming partners
that are interested in buying new farms to grow
existing family operations.

Not sure given what I read is a cautious view you
hold on property values whether you have appetite
to buy / operate more farmland.

I would be a non operating investor and would
invest capital side-by-side with the farming
partner. If you happen to know of any folks in the
black earth area who may be interested in speaking,
yourself included, I'd be happy to hear about it.
