Been there, done that; twice.
No matter if the two of you start out to be amicable, I guarantee her family and or girlfriends will persuade her to lawyer up so she can get every pound of your flesh possible.
I think It was Barbara Bush commented that for a man, divorce is the process of pulling out his gentiles through his wallet.
Sit in on several divorce court hearings, and see if you can find an attorney who "Owns the courtroom." Is friendly with the court clerk, the judge. Try to engage a female attorney, preferably a minority.
Once it is over, and you stupidly think you found the one woman who is not like the rest of them, and want to remarry, think prenuptial agreement. If you don't you are a fool, and will deserve what you get.
The perspective new wife will recoil at the suggestion, but too bad. The government has made marriage a business proposition, and you must protect yourself. I told wife number two that the prenuptial agreement was non negotiable, and if she was determined to make our marriage work, it would never be an issue for her. She signed, and we just celebrated our 18th anniversary. Good luck.
