For example, if we are going to get divorced next year, maybe I should stop my 401K investments, since I would need cash more than I need long term investments. I would be happy for any advice people can give me here.
Sic svnt dracones! Can't speak for Eastern State, but in Coastal State the divorce paperwork comes with an explicit Temporary Restraining Order barring Petitioner from making any such changes without the express written consent of the Respondent.
If it were (able to be [don't know if it is]) a contested divorce, opposing counsel would rake you over the coals on any changes to the customary and usual family financial position, suggesting that this was part of a long-term Master Plan, etc., since Mrs. T is entitled to half your retirement -- you follow?
