AD so far I have spent 5250$ that includes the retainer. W has spent the same so together we are at 10K. If we go to litigation add anothe 10k between the two. The house depends on how much you owe on it and can you afford the mortgage on your own. Also one of you will be paying child support and alimony. Retirements in my state are equalized. But every state is so different. We have always have had our own account and one joint for tax purposes. Maybe u should open your own.
