encourage your soon to be ex to work together on splitting all the tangible items that you have accumulated. It most divorces, 4 people meet to divide the assets of a marriage and two of the four walk away with 50% of the assets each. They are usually lawyers.
Hope I'm not going off topic or offending any but your post just helped me to realize divorce lawyers are much like coin dealers.

Wooooha! Did someone just say it's officially "TACO™" Tuesday????
Yes it does/did. Overall, I'm at a better place in my life now. Wishing you will be too down the road. Keep your head up, stay positive and things will work out for the best in the end
I'm also sorry to hear of this, one of the most traumatic things people go through usually.
As an aside, a CT coin and currency dealer was going through divorce, frankly I had a lot more sympathy for his wife who was truly long suffering. He said he wanted cash on all his deals as her lawyer was clueless on the type of treasure chest he was sitting on and was looking to circumvent full disclosure.
If you are talking and think you can come to an agreement. Keep the damn lawyers out of it and do a non contested divorce!

Thanks for the kind words everyone... I'm sure things will work out. As far as coins and "assets" go, it's just stuff, and stuff can be replaced. However, there are a number of antiques that my mother gave to us over the years... things from my childhood that I'd like to keep or have go to the kids (ultimately) rather than see sold off. As far as coins go, I sold the bulk of my collection some years ago (I had a nearly completed 7070 type set, Morgan Dollar date set, Lincolns, IHC's, LC's, etc) and had really just started to get back into collecting so there isn't much. There are some specific pieces that I'll definitely keep, but more for sentimental value than numismatic value (a couple of silver dollars given to me by my grandfather, a handful of well circulated IHC's). If she goes after the remainder of my coins, I can go after the jewelry that my mom gave her... several very large ticket items that she likes, but I really hope it doesn't come to that.
Anyway, at this point, we're trying to work out a separation agreement (I'm still in the house) and finances are definitely a sticking point. If anyone knows a good divorce/family lawyer in the Baltimore MD area, I'd be most appreciative for the recommendation.
Again... thanks for all your kind words, this really means a lot to me right now... Leo
