heres a little humor for you, and maybe some advice. why is divorce so expensive?..........because its worth it!
my ex was the worlds biggest financial black hole, she cheated with my friend and now that idiot is paying for all her bull****. seemed horrible at the time but she saved my life and/or sanity. doing 100 times better financially with her gone.
pay her to go away, you wont regret it.

Going forward in life...If you ever contemplate getting remarried, just remember..... hookers and cocaine are always cheaper....

Neighbor nearby just got divorced.
In Thailand, he bought a block of land in Wiley's name then built a house on it. Legally, she owns the land and because he can prove all the money came from him, he owns the house (building).
Talking to lawyers, they said it was likely the (dodgey) Thai court would side with wifey and award her the building too in lieu of a cash settlement. Wifey was up country and returned direct to the court house on the day of the hearing. Meanwhile, hubby had already rented a bulldozer and demolished the house!
There's no law against demolishing your own house and it wasn't awarded to her until after the demolition. She retained her land and everything on it. (A pile of rubble) This was a coupe of months ago, she's still arguing but it looks like he's got away with it. 😌

Went thru this abt 15 yrs ago. Priority #1 is to convince your soon-to-be-ex that her lawyer is not her friend and they are only in it for themselves. Both of you will be far more ahead if you can split everything between yourselves. Do whatever you have to do to get it over with asap. Make a "mistake" in her favor when dividing assets and she'll probably be quite and be eager to sign before you "realize" your "mistake". I left a good $10k on the table but kept the house and it's more than doubled in value since then. 
With that being said, if she's being completely unreasonable, start a consultation with all the top lawyers in the county like mentioned prev. A buddy of mine did exactly that. It works.
Whatever happens, don't do anything that jeopardizes your job. Keep your job and everything comes back quicker than you may think.

It really depends on the situation. If it’s a hate divorce or amiable but it just doesn’t work. When I went through mine I asked her lawyer for a list of what she wanted. The list was fair. I gave it. He was surprised I don’t fight. I didn’t have as many assets as you see mmmm too but the fight and stress wasn’t worth it. Gave her what she wanted and it seemed fair and it went quickly and easily. I would start with a list of her demands and see if they seem fair
of course my advice is if it’s amiable
