That would be a good idea. My W "separated" with me, starting claiming we weren't married. I documented all of it.
I paid off about $30,000 in debt the three years we were separated, but still married - I'm not going to pay any alimony, I have my kids 60% of the time, and the child support is less than half what W expected to get. She is a bit beside herself at this point, and just can't understand why the courts aren't taking "her side", and giving her lots of money.
Three years ago, she expected to walk off with $30k in equity in our house, until I told her that the down payment we made was equity from our previous house which I owned free and clear. Oops, shave off $9,000. Then the house got re-appraised for $40k less than she thought. Oops, shave off another $20k.
Perhaps it is a bit vindictive, but I love it when reality bites.
