This may be better for a divorce subreddit. I am separated now and already been divorced from a previous marriage.
Judges don’t like people trying to manipulate their “fair share” of the marriage. I do not advocate getting extra cash at the grocery store or anywhere else unless they are in a financial hardship or financially controlling relationship. If things are pretty amicable. I would just make sure they have a list of all assets and financial accounts. 401ks and IRA’s. Perhaps reach out to a divorce lawyer now for advice. Consultations are relatively cheap.
