BTW, it is not just a money thing...later in life divorces are emotional tsunamis, especially if either person is vulnerable.
I just got back from taking my DV buddy to clean out his safety deposit box. He went through a bitter, unanticipated, divorce a few years ago (I had a front row seat, he is 67) and, while it cost him a few million, he has plenty more.
Doesn't matter. Everything to him is colored in failure, a bitter shroud that frankly permeates his life post divorce.
He never wanted to be, "that guy".
It is tortuous to watch play out...the safe deposit box was like opening the Ark of the Covenant.
