Do you have an attorney you trust? When my ex-wife first obtained an attorney I was worried. I retained good counsel and those worries melted away. There is a balance point--the norm for divorces in your state for your custody %s. The other side can spend hours on a crazy proposal, and mine spends 15-30 minutes finding a good response, e.g. "They'll win that, go with it." or "They're blowing smoke, ignore it."

"Mr. Attorney, the house is 50% mine. Do I need to do anything to protect my half?"

If favors are part of your area's court system, ensure your attorney's plugged into that, too?
