she is really afraid that if she were to initiate a D that I would get "all ugly and confrontational about it".
Gosh, Batman! Really?! Divorce -- "ugly and confrontational"? Whodathunk?

I am a bit nervous about the potential escalation
I had precisely the same fear. But then I mojoized it. Because operating in an information-free zone does me no good; I needed to be read-in on what my rights are and so forth. The money piece, for example -- assume it's a continuous distribution bounded 0,1. I know what "0" is -- had no idea just how big "1" is. Now that I do, I know where I can bargain, I know what my points of reversion are, I know what my reservation price is.
Lawyers don't have to make things ugly and confrontational. Well, at least not ugly. Because they know the law.
"Confrontational"? Anchors aweigh; that ship sailed when WAW walked.
