My wife and I are filing in Florida using the “self-help” divorce filing where neither of us are planning to use lawyers. We have been dealing with marriage issues since she had an affair two years ago, and at that time we made the decision to separate our finances a little bit where each of us got $1000 to our own accounts every month. She wasted almost all of it every month paying for a $50k car that was WAY out of her budget where as I tucked most of my allotment into a brokerage account, now worth about $25k.

If I tell her about this I know she will fight me saying half of it is hers, but if we aren’t getting lawyers involved, can I just stay quiet about that account? It only has my name on that one.
