I hit submit too quickly. My W is also inexperienced in the financial department and one of her wishes is financial independence. I learned the hard way that she does not want me to be her teacher! So my new mantra has been--let her lawyer be the bad guy. Previously, when she made proposals that made no sense I would try to explain why and this would get messy. Now I just listen, knowing that if it makes no sense that her lawyer will point this out to her--I don't need to be the bearer of that bad news.
