Do I have to write it down and document who takes what for the attorneys or can it be an informal agreement?
My lawyer told me that the more you can agree on splitting in an informal agreement, the better. Larger monetary items like vehicles, bank accounts, retirement, houses, mortgage, and debt should to be broken down in the dissolution of marriage judgement.
I let her have all her guns and jewelry which was probably around $20K. But I kept the house and most all possesions in it. I even still have the bicycle I got her for BD and I guess it will be a gift for a future princess of mine.
My personal opionion is to get the parenting plan written and approved first before doing any haggling about division of assets, child support and spousal support.
