I'm still over in newcomers trying to DB my marriage, but my H is ready to schedule mediation in the next couple of weeks and I'm the cliche everyone's heard of a W who had no idea about the financial side of their marriage, no separate assets, no clue.

I'm trying to gear up now by seeking consultations with financial planners, but I like to read books and wondered if any of you have recommendations of books or resources to help. I know I can google, but I'm looking to go right to the recommended best, or avoid problems learned by others.

I still hope we can reconcile but I'd be foolish not to start educating myself at this point. Any help much appreciated.
