Sorry to hear this, hawgeye. Before I comment, remember that everything you say her or anywhere on the internet is forever. Do NOT trash her whatever you do. If she sees it and saves it to show the judge, s/he will eat you alive. Never say never and never underestimate anyone regarding this.

I'm not sure about Arkansas from personal experience. I divorced in Texas. WMR, he couldn't be more wrong in so many ways. Divorce is definitely not a lottery win for women. My attorney cost A LOT. Here, a decent attorney has a retainer from 5-10k and that runs out quick.

now, where you are at a disadvantage is that she doesn't work and hasn't for awhile. Her earning potential is probably very little. She will most likely end up with half of cash, assets, and debt as well. Your businesses are at stake here, as well. Do not start hiding stuff or cutting her off suddenly. You will get nailed for that. Do what you can do legally, but you know that already.

the bright side is no kids, right? Here in Texas the judges are more dad friendly. We had a very friendly divorce and agreed on the custody arrangement and financials. No child support, he pays after school care/daycare and I pay health insurance. We both are earners, though. 50/50 down the board as a result. I have the capability of not needing to rape someone, and agreed to the fairness. Mostly BC if we fought, I could have ended up paying HIM child support due to earnings and potential. No thanks. Lol.

I can't stress enough the part about her and divorce and social media. Once you file, don't discuss it. At all. Judges HATE that shite, and will eat your arse alive over it.
