Found MRP in Oct '17. started gagging down pill about a year ago.

I'm meeting with a divorce lawyer tomorrow. I've put together my balance sheet (debts/assets and current titling) with some general questions and figuring I need to mentally prep myself for a 3 year exit plan if I am to maximize my positioning for separation. I also have the household budget, but haven't printed that off for the meeting.

My prepped questions for the lawyer:

-how to best prepare for divorce?

-feedback on titling of assets.

-how SAHM spouse's lack of income effects situation?

-what happens with debt through a divorce? (and related questions like 'is it better to squirrel away over paying down debt ahead of time?')

-I have a family member who has worked in my company for years. There is a verbal agreement to vest them in the business; how will that effect the situation (will transferring some ownership be seen as an attempt to 'hide' assets?)

-how will current tax rules and non-deduction of alimony effect cash flow?

-should I consult with other good divorce lawyers in the area to narrow her choices of attorneys? (rural America, not many good choices).

-I'm in a cyclical business. The last few years have been solid. If profit (income) goes down significantly post divorce how will that effect me?

MRP gurus:

What are the obvious and oblique questions I'm missing?

Many thanks.
