Ghost, no verbal agreements about assets! And check if they are really both to be divided.
H's ex made agreements with him, then turned around and used the legal system to fleece him a second time, because their agreement was overruled by law. There was nothing illegal about their original agreement, but it was only as good as her word, because the law only acknowledged one side and not the other.
This goes for everyone on this board: Don't make any financial agreements without talking to attorney!
