You can fill every single one of those out and print in less than 3 hours. Create a settlement agreement on all property. What makes that simple is to do it after you've established your separate residences as then you can just say "Nancy will keep all furnishings located at 1300 Goodbye Rd" and "Rodger will keep all furnishings located at 1100 ThankGod Ave" then the cars, any money which can be she keep her bank account you you keep yours, plus your retirement plans. Whatever you come up with and you both agree to a judge will approve but make sure it is listed in the settlement agreement.

Bills the same but keep in mind you won't be off the hook for joint credit card accounts so hopefully they're paid off/closed but you list them and who is responsible as well but that won't keep the credit card companies from coming for you if she defaults or doesn't pay so I strongly recommend paying them off and getting rid of them then establishing your own individual cards. No joint accounts is ideal.
Only one CC and it is paid off monthly. Close it and get individual cards. We have two checking accounts. One for her deposits and one for mine, so we need to remove me from her account and her from mine.

If there is one thing people going through a divorce are known for it is rationally and reasonably working together with their soon to be ex.
And, this is the chicken and the egg question. I agree that the adversarial process we have is detrimental to some relationships, especially those with small kids. Instead of maintaining an adult relationship between two people who once said they loved each other, it places people on the opposite side of the “v” and manufacturers mistrust, ramping up feelings that could have been avoided with a counseling non-adversarial process. But then, sometimes those feeling of mistrust already exist for various reasons and people are telling the less financially independent spouse to not let their soon to be ex take advantage of them. They go into the divorce mistrusting.

We are essentially selfish people, mostly. Some of us even in marriage. So, the process often cannot be worked amicably. Primary earners who say they worked things out without a lawyer and it went easily may only be one side of the story. Does their ex feel the same?

it is sad we don’t have a process that does not ramp up the selfishness, fear, vindictiveness and anger in people. On that, I fully agree.

BTW, studies show divorce affects men much more than women. Depression, anxiety, stress, financial stress, loss of identity (probably more for fathers and younger guys), loss of control of your life, etc.

I'm not the same person post-divorce.

The essential nature of a man must be strength. If, in your marital situation or any other you sacrifice it, then you are undone.

Of course it does because the man gets completely screwed, especially in Jefferson county. Separation from their kids and sudden financial ruin will cause anxiety and depression in even the best of us
