In a follow-up to my lengthy first post from yesterday, I have since learned that she has been working overtime to move assets around (in particular, inherited funds that she since has commingled with joint/family funds). She has also begun shit talking me to friends and mocking me how little she thinks I may have after the divorce.

I had a pre-scheduled meeting with my attorney and because of what I saw, I decided to file and have her served tomorrow (so as to get the ball rolling and protect myself). I still hope to resolve this via mediation as she has proposed, but I am not optimistic based on what I saw.

The complaint requests an equitable dividing of all assets/property as well as alimony (as I mentioned in my first post, she makes mid/high-six figures, while I am self employed and make around $100k/year).

I am nauseous thinking about what the next 6-12 months+ will look like at "home". But I can only control what I have control over.

I don't want a divorce, but I need a divorce.

Bracing for the storm.
