Be sure to protect yourself. Make copies of everything you will need. Make copies of your past two tax returns. Make sure you have bank statements so you know what his monthly income is and to know what your average monthly bills are. Also take into considerations home repairs you may encounter. Keep in mind things such as lawn service if he usually does this and you would have to pay to get someone to do it. Since he has a list that will be very helpful, just make sure you have copies of those things as well.
Sometimes the reality of it all smacks them in the face. Don't let your guard down. Let him know how it is going to be. Don't discuss this with him. Leave it up the to lawyers if it comes to it, just be prepared and not have to look for the necessary info.
