Play divorce like you play Texas Hold Em': Without Emotion

I am a lawyer. I do divorces on the side, although it's not my main area of focus.
This right here is great advice, judging from what I've seen many of my clients go through. They start bickering over small stuff, things get more and more contentious, and then the whole case falls apart and they have to spend a ton more cash to get it over and done with.
One thing I will add: Don't go out and buy a sporty new car to celebrate your independence until the papers are signed and it's over (really over, as in you have the judge's signature). You do that, and you could make her mad, and she just may decide to try to fight it out and take you for all you're worth.
I've seen that happen. More than once.
PM me if you want to talk more in-depth.
