BTW - www.wife.org has some good info related to finances and divorce. And no, I'm not an accountant (just the daughter of two CPAs) so don't take my word on the tax stuff - just trying to illustrate some potential pitfalls. Paying a little for financial advice now can save you a bundle later.
And don't assume your divorce attorney knows all this stuff. They're not accountants. They may be able to refer you to a financial planner who has the right background to advise you, though.
